Just heard last maintence was 11-11-01 (yesterday ?!?!?) Somebody musta left a socket in the sprocket aka FOD damage. But will leave it to the pros as to what would make engine fall off.

Stay safe !

Maintenance was done on November 11th, yesterday on the plane according to the AA press conference. However, there is a bird sanctuary in the area and if a bird gets in one of the turbines, sometimes, it can take out an engine. I still think it's terrorism.

Remember the fireman Mike Moran was from Rockaway and he told Osama Bin Laden to kiss his royal blankety blank and he announced that he was in Rockaway and something like "come and get me." Hopefully, just a coincidence.

welllllllll, as a motorcycle rider, you do what's called 'preventive maintenance' by keeping things in tune, adjusted and lubed. but sometimes, and many times, it doesn't matter and murphy's law takes over. probably my scariest moment happened when we were on the freeway and got a flat tire in the rear. as i slowed down the steering got worse and it was like a giant had control of the handlebars as they were jerked left and right. i was about to just give in and crash when all of a sudden everything straightened out and we coasted to a stop. talk about fast heart beats. but, like they say:

'if it has t*ts or wheels it will give you problems'
