I guess I dont follow what happened here. The right engine cowl fell off and the engine quit. Is that right?

I wish the kids would stop bickering.

Nice job to the Delta folks. This could happen anytime, anywhere.

Happens more on JT8D's.

My understanding from the news was that the parts falling off the airplane were preceded by a "KABOOM."

Technology has come a long way in 50 years.

Sure has.

Just ask the triple seven crew that almost landed at Heathrow.

Typing is still typing ... figure we on FlightInfo have to be among the best typists around.

That's because the Genital missesd this on his walk around. Thank goodness that Delta doesn't have a union. Otherwise there would be someone to grieve his termination for this negligence.

Lets see, a gearbox takes a crap and blows off the cowling. How the he11 am I supposed to preflight a gearbox? If I could see the damn thing I'd be walking around with a permanent b0ner.....BECAUSE I'D HAVE X-RAY VISION!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd probably have a heart attack though. I don't know how I could stand looking at a bunch of 80 year old flight attendants. Oh well, b0ner gone bye bye.
