A380 Engine blade out test video

[Guest iksound]

Just thought I'd share this with you, I found it on youtube, its an Airbus A380 engine blade out test, where one of the fan blades is blown out, in order to test how well the engine contains the debris.

Saw this last summer, along with the whole A380 development documentary by the Discovery channel. It was very interesting and changed my views on airbus greatly (all I am going to say is I had a bias for Boeing :(). Thanks for sharing the vid, it never gets old to hear the sound of Rolls Royce's spectacular Trent engines! They sound the best in my opinion, but GE is catching up quickly with the sound of theirs :(, :(. PW is still working on it.

I don't understand why folks are posting links here, when they could be doing this:
