Gerd is the antithesis of a pin-up girl: 5 ft. 3 in., 161 Ibs., with measurements of 45-39-43. But never mind.

What is eerie about the problem is that it continues to occur even though Pratt & Whitney has supplied the airlines with new blades made of higher heat-resistant alloys. Pratt & Whitney is now sending to the lines a comprehensive "modification kit" that changes parts of the engine and converts it to the equivalent of the power plant used in the new 747s. These later-model planes have not had an abnormally high rate of blade failure. Trouble...
