Used to be a specialist load moving engines like that, as someone in this or another post mentioned, air suspension trailers - etc.

I know we beat them to death in the aeroplane and subject them to some punishing loads but I am not sure I would want that engine hanging off the wing of my aeroplane until it was properly checked out.

Unfortunately it looks like a MRTT engine so the poor sods who will have to deal with an engine failure if it eventuates will undoubtedly be loaded to the gunwales with fuel. It will be one of those things that happens in 5-6 years time when something that originated with the shock of the fall grows into a failure.
