Hi!

I became interested in the engine failure and the subsequent diversion to EHAM of BAW flight 16 (WSSS-EGLL) on 15 June. Because part of the engine simply broke away and fell down in mid-flight, it became a question (at least to me) that where did it land. My calculations showed that it might have landed in northern India (north of New Delhi), western Nepal, or northern China (see the pictures (links) below). What do you think? Has somebody maybe got different results or something like that or different basic information?

Aditionally, of course, the plane was a Boeing 777-200.
