A four hour flight... An airplane took of from Gander, Newfoundland heading for Toronto, a four hour flight. After about twenty minutes in the air there was an announcement on the P.A. system: ""Ladies and gentlemen, this is the captain. We have just lost power on our number one engine, but there is no reason to be alarmed. This is a modern three engine transport jet and we can fly safely with two engines. However, due to the loss of power, our 9:00 o'clock arrival time has been set back to 10:30 pm."" After another fifteen minutes there was second announcement: ""Attention please, we have just lost our number two engine. We can still complete the flight with the remaining engine, but our estimated arrival time is now 12:30 am."" Finally, one of the passengers spoke up. ""Lord tunderin' jeezus. If dat turd engine stops we'll be up here all night.""
