A 747 with three engines?!

All I know is that if the engine on my plane fell off, I would DEFINITELY notice!

Student: "Where'd the Cessna's engine go?!?!?"

Me: "What engine? Are we airborne!? Who's flying!?!"

Maybe it was shot off with an EMP - Electro Magnetic Pulse(I think) gun - that's the latest theory over on Flightinfo.com as to what brought down the CRJ

Then to actually debate something like that...OMG.

Can some on on the ground actully fire at and hit a plane doing mach.80 from FL410 with an EPM gun if they eve exist?
Uh oh actually starting to debate the possiblities that it could even happen.....must.....stop....now.

That guy in your avatar looks like he could pull something like that off.

So would this be classified as an accident that they DON'T have to report to the NTSB? Seeing as how it only happened to one engine?
 
hmmmm...no injuries...does this count as major damage? I wouldn't think so unless something was wrong with the frame. I wouldn't think that this counts as an engine failure (though you dont have to report those) as I'd be willing to be the engine was working just fine, it just wasn't attatched to anything

Wasn't it an El-Al 747 that lost an engine over Amsterdam and went ploughing into a block of flats whilst trying to make an emergency approach into Schipol?
Though I seem to recall they ended up with a real nasty can of worms like some major handling problems when the engine went "Bye-bye"

They did a good job to get the plane back to terra ferma, but I agree with Doug, one'd hope you'd notice that an engine had actually detatched.

Maybe some of the bolts holding it on corroded!

I've told them to stop driving those 747's on salted roads in the winter, but they just don't listen!

The ELAl flight it was an inboard engine that fell off, and when it fell, it took out the outboard engine with it. The reason it crashed was there was extensive damage to the wing, and the flaps were not operational. So when the captain put flaps down, they only went down on one side - not a good thing.
