It doesn't matter what airplane you fly or how many engines you have, losing an engine as a pilot or a passenger is always a interesting ordeal. Fortunately, losing an engine in flight is a fairly rare occurrence. The Airbus A-340 is powered by four Trent 500 engines providing 56,000 lbs of thrust each. When one fails, there are three other ones to take up the slack. However, certain systems are degraded. In the following video, you'll see that certain galley electrical loads are shed. With the loss of a generator, the aircraft prioritizes the available power in order to ensure that critical systems are powered. In this case, coffee makers are less important than flight instruments and other systems.
The crew handle this very well with the captain getting his First Officer involved in the decision making, a great demo of teamwork.
Does the plane land safely or does it crash? Watch to find out...

10 年Well I have Swiss high on safety and standards of operations. Seems also they loose money heavily, but low oil price is helping. Anyway hope never to experience it.
