Well done by the crew...no one hurt unless you count the man on the ground who got a bit of jet-a in the eye...

''Any of the aircraft we fly can land or fly with one engine,'' he said.
Would anyone like to try that on a DC-10 with a full load?

In 1983 an Eastern Airlines L1011 flight from Miami to San Juan lost oil in No.2(?) engine and was shut down by the crew. Aircraft turned back to Miami when the other two engines failed, also due to complete loss of oil. Crew then restarted the first engine they shut down and managed to land successfully on a single engine. All three engines failed due to loss of oil because maintenance personnel had omitted to fit O ring seals to the master chip detectors during routine maintenance prior to the flight.
