But despite two of the three passengers being top flight engineers on their way to fix a Boeing 767, no one noticed that half the left wing, containing one fuel tank, was missing.OK, fellas, what is wrong in this picture?

Whoa... another HOLY CR*P ping.... I'm no A&P, but I think something is missing. Also, is that the mount in front peeling back?

There was a four engine jet (DC-8, 707, or Convair 880) sometime in the early 60's where the outboard engine caught fire and burned off the wing from the engine outboard. Someone on the flight got the whole sequence on camera. They landed OK.
I remember seeing it in the Saturday evening post, or somewhere. I've seen references to it in accident lists within the last year, so I know I'm not imagining something from my childhood.

Nothing really. From what I can see, all the safety wiring is done in a tightening direction, it has the proper chafe tape on it, clamps and routing looks good. No visible chafing anywhere that I can see on this side of the motor. Bleed air lines are not discolored, no visible leaks, and the leads off the igniter box look good.
What is wrong?
