Well, I am not disagreeing, but engines HAVE fell off planes before...........do you recall the AA flight in Chicago back in 78 or 79.......left engine fell completely off the plane..........DC10

Also, in the summer of 1990, the entire B1B fleet was grounded, because an engine had fell off a plane during a training exercise. This is why the B1B did not participate in the Gulf War.

Just FYI for discussion

But in the past when engines fall off, have pieces of the tail ended up in the bay?

Yes, I remember the engine falling off an A/A airplane well. See my post here.
