I am an Wannabe, and think I am the reason you mentioned about being romantic. I am aware what a professional pilot entails...and that is to have as many successful landings as takeoffs. So please, enough of the bulshy comments.

I am still not clear how they cocked up. They landed, no-one died, or was significantly injured, and the cause of the right engine failure was a fuel leak. Who can blame crew for that? And second, the other engine, #1, is said to have stopped also, but still, the plane had to land and where the "cock- up" as it has been called here, has originated from I would very much like to know!

Smooth skies
