A hypothetical situation, and a doubt
Maybe that is what happened he http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/04/03/c5.crash/ I believe he (C5) lost 3 of 4, not just 1 of 2. Of course I have lost 1 of 4, and even 2 of 8, and returned safely. Granted, we could not dump fuel with the 8 engine bird, and had to fly about 5 hours to burn down to landing weight. BT
