#2 Question - is this one of Christian/Animists from the south killed like the southern Christian VP was just after the peace treaty or is this an Arab who died?

#4 One engine failing - (say) 1 in 100,000. Odds of two engines failing at the same time - one in ten billion. (100,000x100,000)

Odds of all the engines failing when your political opponents are on board - priceless.

#8 Re engine failure: Ask the 4 highly experienced Boeing test pilots who took the sole remaining Model 307 out for a test flight following a many year and many dollar restoration;
TP1: Did you dip the tanks?
TP2: No, did you?
TP3: No I thought you did.
TP4: Why is so quiet all of a sudden?
307: Splash! Into Elliot Bay
(Moral of the story, it don't matter how many motors you got, if'n there ain't no fuel, all you got is a big-ass glider)
