We're very good at war gaming like that, so we can predict, as you said, what can happen in two or three years' time.
We know what the threats are, we have put in place significant uh ameliorations to stop that.
So I have every confidence it's just going to disrupt the people who want to go to the Phoenix part, who may want to land in Dublin Airport or Shannon.
So there will be disruption, for example, for the short term for the president of the US.
Uh but we'll get over it.
Indeed, it has happened three times, Pat, if you look back over this.
This aircraft is a Boeing 737-800.
We're very familiar with them.
And it's powered by a thing called the CFM56-7B engine.
It's a commoner garden.
Believe it or not, in context, 34,000 of these jet engines have been used.
And they're used widely in different aircraft types, all of the 737 new generations.
Many of the Airbus 340s, many of the 320s as well.
And you've got military applications, C-135s and a whole host of aircraft.
So it's a remarkably popular aircraft.
Sorry, engine, I should say.
You fit it to lots of different aircraft types.
And it is one of the most reliable turbine engines ever made, believe it or not.
What it looks as if it happened was a right side uncontained engine failure.
In other words, something went wrong.
