Genghis, regarding the Kegworth crash, I have learned the a/c involved was a 737-400. An interesting review can be found on the
BBC website. The referenced article suggests the engine problem became known at FL 280, but that the wrong engine shutoff occurred at less than FL 10. Was that the altitude at which the engine shutoff truly occurred?
And just out of curiosity for this non-pilot, how much altitude (and time) would be required to comfortably restart an engine on a jumbo jet in flight?
