aterpster,
Many years ago an Old Continental 707 had an engine on the left side (I think #2, have an uncontained engine failure at LAX. They had just rotated. Debris from # 2 bounced off the runway and took out engine #3. It was hairy but they were able to climb out and return for landing.
Wasn't that a National B-727 at DCA?
Don't know about the 727 at DCA. I clearly recall the Old Continential 707 at LAX.
I can't imagine a 727 flying out of takeoff on one engine.
