#3 ... one of the planeâs two engines was shaken loose from its wing by a thunder storm and hit the ground with enormous force still running â before the plane came down ...

Both engines were towed out of the crater overnight for a photo.

So which was it? An engine that is "shaken loose from its wing" doesn't usually find its way into the impact crater.

#4 Engines do NOT keep running when off the wing, the fuel consumption is huge, and it will quit in seconds.

Now if the engine AND a hunk of wing are still connected, AND if the wing section has a fuel tank, then the engine will still quit the second the wires are ripped loose from the fusilage (Fuel pump quits)

Bullshit, the engine was NOT running.
