737 Engine comes of wing in Cape Town

Watching something like this happening is seeing but not believing...even after 30+ years in the job, it still rattles you.

I must applaud the crew They kept the plane flying under these trying and difficult conditions with drizzle rain and a cloud base of 900ft running IMC just after the incident while trying to keep the A/C flying. No time to dump fuel as it was spilling on its own. They made it back by the grace of God. It had to land...that is why the runway was cleared of rubble in such a short time(not 10 mins but 20 mins)

Engine, cowling and other parts still lying next to the runway.

Once again....brilliant flying by the pilots
