My APU is on FIRE, Redux

Apparently the NTSB has forgotten about this incident in January of 2007 in their recommendation letter earlier this week. The photo is pretty self explanitory. In a similiar fashion to the Air Norstrum and ASA incidents, this Mesa Airlines CRJ-200 shed one of it fan blades over Cripple Creek, CO (coincidence?) in a flight from Denver to Phoenix. They were able to return and land without problem at Denver, but their wasn't much left of #1 engine fan assembly. All incidents involved the GE CF34-3B1 engine.

(Just in case you were wondering, yes we realize an APU was not involved in any of these incidents. It is simply a reference to an actual APU fire we were involved with years ago that included a French Canadian flight crew)
