What happened
On January 30, 2013, a McDonnell Douglas MD-82, operating under registration SE-DIK, experienced a serious engine failure during its takeoff roll in Copenhagen, Denmark. There were no injuries resulting from the event.
The investigation
The Danish Accident Investigation Board is conducting the investigation into the incident. As the United States is the state of manufacture for both the aircraft and the engines, the NTSB has appointed a U.S. Accredited Representative to assist the Danish authorities under Annex 13 of the Convention on Civil Aviation. The engine involved in the failure was removed from the aircraft for a detailed teardown examination.
