This is not what you want to see outside you window. That brings back some not so fond memories. I was on our company plane when it took off from Detroit. We were over Lake Erie at a few thousand feet when there was a large bang (explosion) and the plane jerked severely to the right and dropped. It felt like we were dropping into the Lake. There was no engine noise. The passenger across from me who could see the engine had a look of total panic on his face. The person behind me said "I can't die today. This is my birthday." After what seemed like forever but probably was only a couple of minutes, the pilots opened the cabin door and said 1 engine was still operable and they were going straight down into the Cleveland airport. They had approval for an emergency landing and as we landed the runway was lined with emergency equipment including firetrucks and medical vans. We landed without incident and deplaned on the runway. Oil was dripping from the remains of the engine. A part from the front of the engine had broken loose and went back through the engine causing the engine to break apart. As I walked to my car I was thinking how calm I was throughout the episode, probably from my mind blocking things out. However, as I was driving home I noticed my hands were trembling on the steering wheel. |

Kinda like how you feel after you have been shot at by folks on the other side who intend to do you very bodily harm. |
