Investigation #: OFS5820220007

On August 15, 2021 at 1433 local time, a FAA part 129 operator, was operating a Boeing 777-300ER which experienced an engine abnormality one minute after takeoff from Los Angeles International Airport (lax). The aircraft had departed from runway 25R, westbound out of lax. One minute after take-off the crew received an engine indicating and crew alerting system (eicas) message in the flight deck indicating the failure of the right engine and an engine oil pressure decrease message at 900 feet altitude. The crew initiated the right engine in-flight shut down (ifsd) and continued the climb to 2,500 feet. As the result of the ifsd, the crew made the decision to return to lax. After dumping the aircraft?s fuel the aircraft landed without incident, and taxied under its own power to the stand. During the initial inspection of the right aircraft engine there was no external damage noted, engine part debris were found resting in the exhaust path. The right engine fire bottles were not discharged. FAA dra report occurrence, event id 686656, was a filed for the air turn back event. Another FAA dra report occurrence, event id 686991, was filed for a fallen object for the debris that landed on a parked car at the end of the runway. The un-occupied car was parked in the parking lot at dockweiler beach picnic area, west of lax runway 25R. FAA inspectors interviewed the indirect witness who recovered some debris from the aircraft and the dash cam video. The driver of the damaged car had parked her car and went for a run, while she was away the event happened. When she came back to her car she noticed damage to the car?s front windshield. She then notified her partner who came out to meet her at her location. Her partner recovered debris that had hit the windshield and was able to contact the operator?s station manager, who met him at the parking lot. He handed over the debris that hit their car to the operations manager. The indirect witness also retrieved the dash-cam video from their car which had recorded the event. The dash-cam video had recorded views from the aft of the car as well as from the front of the car. The dash-cam video showed the operator?s Boeing 777 aircraft departing lax, engine event, and the moment the debris impacted their parked car. There were no reported bodily injuries but property damage to the indirect witness?s car windshield. The indirect witness submitted the dash-cam video and pictures to the FAA investigating inspectors. The operator replaced the right engine with a serviceable engine. The operator followed their maintenance program and provided the FAA with logbook entries for the work accomplished. Once the engine change was completed by maintenance, the aircraft was then released back into service. The operator then repositioned the aircraft to hnd without incident. The engine removed was sent to a general electric (ge) facility in wales for further investigation and teardown analysis. The recovered engine debris were sent to ge in cincinnati, Ohio for further analysis.
