"None of the engines of the MG8 plane gave out. The FCU regulates the amount of power at which the engines turn. Problems with this unit are not a matter of life and death, but causes the flight to become very uncomfortable for passengers because one engine has more power than the other and it makes the plane lean to one side." Unqoute.

Yeah right, at least the pilot did not do consecutive straight rolls when the engine failed, as per Hollowood and other media entertainment. I can think of other reasons why an engine failure can become very uncomfortable for passengers.

Good show to the crew! Me thinks to make heaps of money and write a book for journos: "Aviation reporting for dummies." This will be followed by: "Aircraft types and how to spell them". Hey, I might even buy my own A380 after this!
