What: Air France Airbus A330 en route from Rio to Paris
Where: Casablanca
When: October 16, 2012

Why: After taking of from Rio on Thursday, one of the Airbus330-200 engines was damaged.
Pilots diverted to Casablanca where they made a safe landing.
No injuries were reported.
A replacement jet was provided.
The diversion was no doubt a white-knuckled flight, as the Airbus A330 is the same model as the one that killed 216 in 2007 when pilots became confused with incorrect speed readings likely caused by obstruction of the pitot tubes and flew the plane at the incorrect angle, causing it to lose altitude and crash.
