Must have taken that shot from his helocopter?? Nice house, but I wouldn’t want to step down that much.

It's been reported here on FR that Travolta is a little light in the lift.

How controllable is a 707 if two engines fail on the same side?

I think if you lose an engine on a 707, a landing becomes immediately necessary. From what I have read, they don't operate well on two engines - the plane just doesn't have the aerodynamic efficiency.

It’s not fun to fly on three.

My dad once lost two on takeoff in Japan; very unnerving.

Because engines from that era weren't particularly reliable.
