primary engine?
I guess the writer figured the number one engine was the primary. :)
They think the Number One Engine is the Primary Engine. LOL
The Number Two Engine is called the Poo Poo Engine.
Compressor explode? They are indeed lucky that the cabin was not broached or the wing was not severely damaged.
These things fly easily on one engine albeit losing one on takeoff could be fatal. Kudos to flight crew. Is Sully flying again!
Yes, the number one engine decided to take a number two!
[Sigh] This is what passes for journalism today. Supposedly the reporters at the Washington Times aren’t rookies, but it’s clear the author of this piece doesn’t know beans about aviation. Memo to the Times editor: hire yourself an aviation reporter or someone who understands that #1 and #2 don’t mean primary and secondary when referring to an airliner’s engines. Good thing it wasn’t a B-52; the writer would have been totally confused.
