But investigators are still trying to understand why the engine\u2019s front external cover, known as the cowling, was then ripped away, according to NTSB Chairman Robert Sumwalt. Something similar happened in a handful of other engine failures caused by broken fan blades in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCertainly, we don\u2019t expect the cowling to separate like that,\u201d Sumwalt said this week, during a briefing with reporters.\u00a0He added that the safety board\u2019s investigators would examine the engine\u2019s maintenance and inspection records.<\/p>\n<p>Such damage to external engine sections isn\u2019t supposed to happen under current manufacturing and inspection systems, which have ushered in an era of record airline safety in the U.S. and globally. The\u00a0incident raises concerns\u00a0about whether engine coverings are too vulnerable to damage from engine components flying forward at great speed, in addition to questions about why the fan blades broke, some safety experts said.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/boeing-777s-midair-malfunction-puts-focus-on-engine-cover-11614118016?mod=mktw\" class=\"icon none\">An expanded version of this report appears on WSJ.com.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also popular on WSJ.com:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/covid-19-vaccine-what-you-need-to-know-when-you-get-the-shot-11610895600?mod=mktw\" class=\"icon none\">COVID-19 vaccine: What you need to know when you get the shot.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/stimulus-package-biden-covid-19-11614095748?mod=mktw\" class=\"icon none\">Stimulus package: What\u2019s in Joe Biden\u2019s \u2018American rescue plan\u2019?<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"byline article__byline\">\n<p>      <span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author  hasMenu\" data-scrim='{\"type\":\"author\",\"header\":\"By\u00a0Alison Sider\",\"subhead\":\"The Wall Street Journal\",\"list\":[]}' itemscope itemprop=\"author\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<h4 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"By_Alison_Sider\"><\/span>By\u00a0Alison Sider<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
