All four engines failed on a Boeing 747-236B over the Indian Ocean... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Airways_Flight_9 Now there is understatement from what the pilot said and then there is UNDERSTATEMENT!!!

Lazarus1177 164 Posted June 25, 2012 I can't imagine the horror the Crew and the passengers had to go through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast 153 Posted June 25, 2012 Despite the lack of time, Moody made an announcement to the passengers that has been described as "a masterpiece of understatement" Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them going again. I trust you are not in too much distress This is the comment from the Captain which says UNDERSTATEMENT!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
