"It only takes one. For what? I've had three, all involved still breathing and still flying. The DC-10 fireball at Indiana was survived by many. It had three engines, was flying over a number of suitable asphalt runways, was not ETOPS, (E-THROPS?) and yet 180 people perished. An uncontained Turbine failure."

It only takes one forced landing to ruin your day.

You've had THREE?!?! I'd be buying lottery tickets if I was you.

Are you talking about the UAL in IOWA (not Indiana)? That was kinda "close to home" (same company) so to speak.
