..... the stop at SIN must have a factual significant relation........
I agree with Garage Years - now you're bringing Lies, Damned Lies and STATISTICS into the argument.

The stresses and strains of stopping and starting at Singapore could well have been a factor of course, so yes, why not hold Singapore responsible !!!!

It is more likely that the engine decided to go tits up at a finite time and had the first sector been to Jakarta instead of Singapore, then the incident might have happened at top of descent.

Garage Years - I hope you got fries with that.

therefore the fewer engines an aircraft had then the less chance of a catastrophic failure ??
Are there any DC-3 Arnhem Veterans around who could volunteer to tow A-380 sized gliders into the air ?

The statement I like was that no Captain will ever be really staisfied until the Flight Engineer can say - " we've lost number 8, Sir. " and the Captain asks - " which side "
