Aviation enthusiasts; Engine parts of an Air France A380 found in Greenland 2 years after event
This A380 had an un-contained engine failure in flight over Greenland in August of 2017, resulting in the loss of the inlet cowling and forward fan blade hub. The video below shows the recovery of the hub.
I think it's amazing how deep it got buried under snow in just 22 months. It reminds me of the recovery of the WWII era "Lost Squadron" that included a P-38 that was recovered back in the 90's.
