What kind of aircraft is this?
The Boeing 757 is a twin-engine, single-aisle jet airliner built from the early 1980s to 2004, often used on longer domestic and transatlantic routes and as a freighter.
In plain terms, it's a jet (turbofan) multi-engine airplane. Certification: Type certificated (factory design approved by the FAA).
There are 63 aircraft of this exact model variant on the US register, and about 440 Boeing aircraft with closely related model designations, out of 317,717 registered aircraft in total.
An aircraft's age on its own says little about how safe it is: airliners are maintained on strict, regulator-approved schedules, and inspections become more detailed as aircraft get older. More about the Boeing 757 →

Aug 6, 2008 (22:40 UTC)Incident · Las Vegas, NVNTSB #ENG08IA038Aircraft in report: BOEING 757Damage: Not recordedHighest injury: None
NTSB probable cause: The engine experienced an uncontained release of high pressure turbine material due to fatigue cracks that occurred on four consecutive blade retainig lugs on the 2nd stage turbine hub. The cracked lugs resulted in the release of four 2nd stage turbine blades that penetrated the engine's cases and nacelle. The lugs cracked due to loss of material and resultant increase in stress load on the blade slot serrations due to excessve grit blasting when the hub was being overhauled by Delta Air Lines. Contributing to the uncontained incident was the FAA's and Pratt & Whitney's failure to act in a timely manner when another PW2037 2nd stage turbine hub was found to have multiple cracks in the blade retaining lugs.
