At least it's unlikely to be that 777-200.


That specific plane will go through a lot of rebuilding, checks, thorough investigation, etc. Given a choice, I'd take that plane over another one.


Yeah but not if they rush the rebuilding and complete it in a few days. I suspect that's gonna require too much duct tape and bubble gum.


Assuming there’s no damage to the airframe itself, it could be back in the air pretty quickly. Changing the engine is a fairly routine procedure, which takes about a day:
