## Discrepancy

(CAN) PILOT WAS TAXING WHEN  HE LOST TOTAL POWER TO NO. 2 BUS. INVESTIGATION FOUND THAT THE R/H GENERATOR COOLING FAN BLADES TOTALLY CRACKED OFF AND FLEW INTO THE GENERATOR WINDINGS, DESTROYING ALL WORKING CAPABLITY OF STARTER GENERATOR. THIS CAUSED A GCU FAILURE AND A NO. 2 BUS CURRENT LIMITER TO BLOW AS WELL.
