Nice news article. For once factual and not over dramatised. The journalist should be congratulated. Now if a Bristish journalist had got hold of the story................................

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.
