Both Engines Fail On Take-off
Hi,
I would say I fly a lot, every 2 months or so - and I have never had a problem. So I am a confident flyer, however recently something came to my attention.
I want to give a scenario:
Boeing 737-800 or Airbus A319 ( I fly on these very frequently, so that's why I picked them ) has just taken-off and the landing gear is now up and the aircraft climbing - suddenly both engines fail?
What does the Captain do? The aircraft was climbing and has lost complete power and both engines, the gear is up, and the plane is coming down?
This has never happened to my knowledge, but it seems very likely.
The first thing that came to my mind was it would come down, mass panic so nobody gets into the brace position, and then blows up upon impact - total loss of life of everyone on board.
Thank you for reading, and I look forward to you're replies.
Nikolai
