| A visitor from Canada posted Tue April 1, 2008: Beautiful work !!! | |
| A visitor from Sweden posted Mon March 31, 2008: The possible reason why it's no rudder deflection is that the image is taken about one second after the "boom", the pilots have not reacted yet. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Fri March 21, 2008: Quite interesting that there's no right rudder deflection, as certainly the #1 engine had lost power at this point. Very nice photo! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Mon March 17, 2008: Im surprised that the passengers in the last five rows didnt alert a flight attendant... | |

| A visitor from Brazil posted Fri January 19, 2007: This picture clearly states that we, plane spotters, are NOT criminals or suspects whatsoever but pure aviation fans.

The shot itself was precise - great lighting, crispness and richness of details of #1 engine going bezerk. Regards for the shot AND attitude Frederik ! | |

| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun December 3, 2006: Fantastic shot! Broken engines are very difficult to capture, especially Rolls Royce ones. I've seen P&W & GE engines go up in smoke on 777s a few times on various sites, but due to the reliablilty of RR engines, its hard to capture them. Thank God one finally went! Great photo. 5 stars! | |

| A visitor from United States posted Wed November 8, 2006: When you snapped this pic, did you know that it would become all-time best airliners.net image? Makes Maho Beach and A380 formation shots look like amateur work. | |
