India's pace spearhead Mohammed Shami has opened up about the knee injury he suffered in 2015 and the speculation thereafter that his career was coming to an abrupt end. Earlier this year, Shami had revealed that he had played in the 2015 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand with a fractured knee. He was the second highest wicket-taker for India (17 wickets from 7 matches) behind Umesh Yadav (18 wickets) and the fourth-highest overall in the tournament.

Over the weekend of 20-21 February, a video on social media appeared showing a United Airlines Boeing 777 with an engine on fire and vibrating from side to side. Passengers on the starboard side got an instructional view of the innards of a jet engine as bits of the shattered turbofan fell away, raining down on Broomfield, Colorado, landing in the yards of surprised homeowners and narrowly missing the half-dozen teams at football practice on the city's Commons Park. Happily for all, United Airlines flight 328 returned to Denver International Airport and landed safely, despite carrying a heavy fuel load for its intended flight to Hawaii, with no injuries to passengers, crew or those on the ground. A preliminary assessment by the US National Transportation Safety Board pinned the blame on metal fatigue in a fan blade. Shortly after the aircraft took off from Denver, one of the engine's 22 fan blades broke off at the stem, shattering an adjacent blade and starting a chain of … [Read more...] about United Airlines Boeing 777 flight 328 engine failure: What happens when an aircraft engine fails
