it says "exclusive video from the plane" and all I see is one skinny white woman in the terminal and some video shot out the glass at the gate.

I'm sure it was scary but sheesh...sounds like the media trying to make an event

If they paid money for that video shot, they threw money away.

Was that from one of the A320s with the wrong engine that AW has so many of?

Looks like an RB211.

The engine is a V2500-A1. They came from the first crop of A320s from Braniff. If we're lucky, maybe the company will replace them with some 737 NGs.

Looks like an RB211.

Here's why:

"Each IAE partner contributes an individual module to the V2500 engine. Pratt & Whitney produces the combustor and high-pressure turbine, Rolls-Royce the high-pressure compressor, JAEC the fan and low-pressure compressor and MTU the low-pressure turbine. Pratt & Whitney and Rolls-Royce assemble and test the engines at their respective facilities in Connecticut, USA and Derby, UK. While IAE's headquarters are located in East Hartford, Connecticut, the engineering group is based in Derby, UK. 52 field offices support IAE's customers world-wide."
