I like to keep people guessing by alternating between ironic understatement and hyperbole. Too much BBC perhaps.
I know in low rpm devices, especially with radial forces (wheels) a bearing or race can start to go without destroying the whole assembly. To the point that bicyclists can bring in a wheel that's so far gone that the labor to fix it is twice the cost of a new wheel (I can fix this or we can get you a new pair of wheels for the same price, installed). How long do you have between the first chip and game over on a rotor?
Some how, even though "LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE" is in all caps, I doubt it entirely captures the urgency. If anything involved with keeping the blades attached fails, sounds like a case of any other plans you had are over and you need to be on the ground RFN while it's still a choice.
