That a380 that blew an engine and cut the wires to the outboard engine took in quite the volume of water, and possibly foam, to put out. And there was a 747 which managed to restart its engines after injesting and melting volcanic ash. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

Turbines are dastardly simple engines, it takes a lot to stop them. Now, a 1960 Ford Fairlane V8, there was a complicated engine. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
