I also remember a 707 in California, in the 1970s, that lost (as in fell off) the number 4 engine AND all of the wing outboard of the number 4 engine mount. This guy not only had the loss of thrust to contend with but also a massive instantaneous fuel imbalance. At first he was going to ditch the aircraft near the beach, but after a few minutes of flying he discovered that he more control of the aircraft than he first thought and successfully landed the airplane at an Air Force Base.
I believe it was a Pan Am 707, but in any case it was a hell of a job of flying.
You probably mean this one
