Its an Airbus so it won't make headlines like a inflight shutdown on a 788...

It was a bird so it wasn't Airbus fault, not like the engine failed halfway through the Atlantic....

Yes . Jetblue's first A321 has suffered an engine fire (failure) on take off roll in SJU . The aircraft had to be evacuated .

B6 704 (SJU-JFK), a321, blew an engine on takeoff. Kudos to the crew, only 3 injured during the evac.

It seems pretty rare for an evacuation NOT to involve injuries. I wonder if there's some way to redesign the slides to make them safer while still allowing for a quick evacuation.

Why the "Mint fleet" 321 was operating that flight?
Itsn't all those Mint 321 fly the transcontential exclusively?

| Quoting davidho1985 (Reply 9): |
This isn't a "Mint" configured A321, this is a "all core" (all economy) A321 which seats to about 190 pax. "Mint" is configured up to @165 or so. 16 Mint, 140 in the back. They use the All core A321's for high density routes, ie JFK-SJU/FLL/SDQ/AUA/BGI/NAS/LAS to name a few off the top of my head. Right now they have @7 Mint A321 for LAX, going to go upto 11 when SFO Mint service starts in a couple months, and about another 7 or so all core A321's doing high density routes from NYC. In short the Mint A321 is a seperate dedicated fleet of @11 or 12 they will use specifically for JFK-LAX/SFO..(For now..rumor is they will start Mint for Transcon LAX/SFO from Boston soon as well.)
