Engine Trouble

"Engine Trouble"*

*Fifteen minutes into flight, the pilot announced: "Ladies
and gentlemen, one of our engines has failed. There is
nothing to worry about. Our flight will take an hour
longer than scheduled, but we still have three engines left."

Thirty minutes later the pilot announced: "One more
engine has failed and the flight will take an additional
two hours. But don't worry, we can fly just fine on two engines."

An hour later the pilot announced: "One more engine
has failed and our arrival will be delayed another three
hours. But don't worry, we still have one engine left."

The blonde in seat 17A turned to the man next to her
and said, "If we lose one more engine, we'll be up here all day!"

"You Probably Wouldn't Want To Hear This..."*

*Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking.

If you look out of the window on the port, or left,
side of the aircraft you will see that the inner engine
is on fire just below the fuel tanks in the wing.

If you look out at the starboard, or right, wing you
will observe that a widening crack has developed
at the wing root, making it unlikely that the wing
will remain attached to the fuselage.

If you look down at the surface of the sea over
which the aircraft is flying, you will notice a small
orange dot. This is a life-raft. In it are your co-pilot,
your flight engineer and myself.

This has been a recorded announcement."
