Read the CAA report re the LAX engine failure.
Air Accidents Investigation: Boeing 747-436, G-BNLG
The full report is even better!
They didn't know the extent of the damage so the spare FO went to look at the engine in the dark and then asked passengers what they had seen.
The fuel mismanagement ended up with a Mayday going into EGCC.
And that wouldn't be the only G reg kite that had fuel problems!
From the Times - the FAA withdrew the fine if they changed their procedures.
And for many of our Brit friends - what they did is illegal in many parts of the world as one of their ex pilots did a similar trick working for the frogs and was arrested!
Engine goes bang - land at first suitable airfield, the rest is arrogant stupidity.
