The pilots should receive a Broken Wing Award!
What happened to this Air France flight is what happened to Quantus Flight 33 or 32 from Malaysia to Sidney. No 1 engine blew out. The problem was a part in the Rolls Royse engine.
The fan blade spun out of control near speed of sound
Thank God for experienced pilots.

You don't know this for sure..it could have been a maintenance error..and this was not a Rolls engine..it was an EA GP7270
Rolls Royce or GE?
Methinks GE.
EA GP7270
From the flight track I noticed that there was already a change of course at 1322 UTC, from 267 to 250, while the aircraft is east of Greenland coast, slightly decreasing in the following half hour, and no change in altitude.
The change in altitude occurs at approx. 1351 UTC, when the plane is above the south western edge of Greenland mainland.
It will be interesting to see from the investigation whether the course change at 1322 was already related to some event noted by the crew, i.e. unusual vibrations or fault signals from the #4 engine, which had already prompted the captain to point to an alternate airport.
