thats pretty cool when an engine falls of then lands safely...(I never knew engines were equipped to land independently from the airplane).

One does wonder what happened with the plane after the engine fell off, then landed safely?  did the airplane fly on to its destination with only one engine?

This was a complicated accident.  The misplaced modifier falling off the sentence stunned the Grammar Patrol into not being able to respond faster than 11 posts after the Safety Patrol which focused more on What The Captain Meant.

And then the reply content cop showed up and thoughtfully shot himself in the foot after coming to the conclusion that off-topic posters must be... well, shot in the foot.

:huh

A 747 in Alaska lost 2 engines, landed safely. A 707 in France lost 2 engines, landed and veered of the runway, everybody OK. A 727 lost an engine in the US because of a lavatory liquid leak, landed safely. And so on...
