Engine failure at 35,000 feet doesn’t mean what you think it means. When a long-haul jet like a Boeing 777 loses an engine at cruise, it doesn’t fall out of the sky. It stabilises. It follows procedure. And in many cases, it can even climb again on one engine. That’s physics. That’s certification. That’s ETOPS. Modern airliners are designed, tested and regulated to handle engine loss safely — even over oceans. The sky isn’t held up by hope. It’s held up by engineering. #Boeing777 #EngineFailure
