I love hearing the story about Taca flight 110 that lost both engines and landed safely on a levee near Michoud back in 1988. The story gets even more interesting when you learn that the captain only had one eye and was pretty much a complete badass. I came across this interview last week and thought I would share.

The host of the show, Mentour Pilot, has awesome videos. Would recommend people who are interested in aviation follow his channel.

In Mentour Pilots' video discussing the actual event, you have Michoud employees chiming in. Boeing only replaced one of the engines and flew the damn thing out at a stupid climb rate.

Unloaded, those 737's, even the older models, have a very prominent performance envelope. They love to climb with no passengers and a small fuel load.

I bet the equity, diversity, and inclusion of today's Boeing dwarfs that Boeing.
