- Hunter S. Thompson Here too. I've seen numerous engine failure
photos, but I cannot remember one such as this.
More photos are coming available on the BBC. There's quite a bit of
damage along the leading edge of the wing. They are fortunate that it could
still be operated for approach and landing.
I can't get anything other than the BBC here on dialup, so there may be
additional photos available on US domestic news services.
