Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines fail. The pilot,
realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on
a crash landing procedure.
Goddamit!!
There are crashes.
There are landings.
There are no "crash landings".
The proper term is "emergency landing".
LOL! Too true!
Unfortunately the engine fails before he has time and the
plane crashes
Planes don't automatically crash when the engine fails.
If you say planes crash when the engine fails, you watch
way too much television. Turn off the TV and do not proceed
to the next question.
I have long since given up on getting annoyed at all the aviation fallacies in the movies and on TV. It's so widespread and the potential for serious self harm from screaming at the TV has made it not worth my while to bother. Mostly I just tune out now...
