The NTSB recommends inspection of all GE GEnx-1B and -2B engines, and says repetitive inspections of the engines should be required. The alert stems from two incidents where fan-midshaft cracks were found in a GEnx-1B in two different Boeing (BA) 787s, and where similar cracks were found in GEnx-2B engines in a Boeing 747-8F cargo plane.

Easy to step up inspections especially when the problems are similar then track down the original cause or causes.

Good to see GE on the receiving end of shaft problems, for once, since they are usually the provider :)

Testing is part of business for safety, planes falling out of sky is bad for business, not to count the lawsuits that follow. Most if not all people are not that stupid to want any airplane accidents to happen.
