Safety fears over crash jet's engine (note from pb..very difficult to get news that doesn't "artistic and cool" pictures of Taliban dead bodies in it, are the press having a competition or something?) US aviation officials issued a safety notice a month ago for the type of engine that powered the passenger jet which crashed in New York on Monday, killing more than 260 people on board. The Federal Aviation Authority called for more frequent inspections because it said an "unsafe condition" had been identified in the engine, but the order had not yet come into force, it has emerged. About 150 of the passengers were from the Dominican Republic Preliminary results of the investigation into the disaster involving American Airlines flight 587 indicate that it was caused by mechanical failure, not a terrorist attack. <<end snip>> news.bbc.co.uk
