First engine goes out, 1 hour delay, second engine goes out 2 hour delay, third engine goes out 3 hour delay, let’s just hope the fourth engine doesn’t go out we’d be up here all day!
Was on a Delta flight to Honolulu Hawaii, about 3 hours into the flight. BOOM and shuddering and orange glow all down the port side. The engine had given way the fan cowling was gone in places and flames where pouring out where the fan air should be. They cut the fuel and the Captain in his best calm voice said we had a engine anomaly and were too far to turn back to California we were diverting to Hilo as it was the closest airport thank goodness for ETOPS ratings it’s the only reason a twin jet can cross water. Clear air turbulence sucks and it’s hard to predict let alone detect it doesn’t show up on radar.
