What if one of these engines fall into an urban area? Central London, packed sports stadium, as examples. A/C often fly over cities in the world. I would have thought there were far more safety measures to ensure engines don't just fall off. <img src="/discussions/graphics/smilies/confused.gif...

There is no visible loading equipment so I would assume loading or unloading was not taking place at the time.
