And the jet engine still kept running.

Ok a little creepy seeing your around 33,000 feet. Just amazing

"How far can we get on just one engine?" All the way to the scene of the crash... Probably beat the emergency crews by a good 20 or 30 minutes.

Little bit too breezy out there to be running out there with a roll of duct tape.

‘Anybody on this flight have any gorilla glue they can spare?’

look on face says it all

That’s exactly what I said in post #5. Must be an echo in here....

Is William Shatner taking the video?

No biggie. It is only the cowl. I've seen much worse on the JT8s.

Engine is not "running" its windmilling , airflow spinning the fan blades.
Pilot would of had a very high N1 vibration and shut down the engine so no that engine is not running but spinning.

Looks like some serious friction going on there.

While I'm no aeronautical engineer, I do seem to think things are not all that great within the confines of that engines' cowling.
Might just be me, but I'm of the opinion that, seeing this through the port window, I'd be wanting to land at the first available opportunity. Again, that's just my personal preference... [Calls ahead to have a fresh pair of drawers ready. Current pair has lost the battle to retain the in-flight peanuts as well as the taco salad and beer consumed before takeoff...]

Note to self; NEVER FLY WITH TIMINATOR!

Agree. Landing at first available alternate airport would be a priority.

Also agree on having spare fruit-of-the-looms ready for deployment upon landing.

Pretty sure mine would look like a toddlers diaper after a day of watermelon, juiceboxes, and those little pink sugar wafers with no changing... ?

Don't care much for flying anyway. That video don't really help improve my outlook on said transportation. I'll take a train!

Flying is still a safe way to travel.

Otherwise all passengers would have a box of adult sized “Depends” underwear as their carry-on luggage. [emoji12]

Well, I know what I'll carry on next time, now!!!

Interestingly the accident statistics show flying as the safest form of travel measured by miles covered.
This biases flying as planes travel much faster.
Hard to find comparisons between cars/trains and planes based on number of journeys, guessing flying would still be on top, but I wonder by how much?

The thing about flying is, you give up all rights as a human. You are a sardine in a can. If something goes wrong, you can do nothing, but watch a observer as your trust is totally in a pilot whom you don't know.

My thoughts EXACTLY!
