So, I'm sitting at the FOX Sports bar at the Arizona International airport and I come across this news item on CNN

Passengers watch as engine falls off plane.

Link

I've had a good friend loose an engine on takeoff, or shall I say go up in a ball of flames, smoke and parts all over the runway. It's a little nerving when they continue the takeoff .

Then I've also landed when there was a problem with the nose gear, deverted a landing just last week, where there was still an airplane on the runway in Orlando but never lost anything in flight LOL.

Here's hoping I make it home safe
