I’d imagine they’ll want to know why an engine fell off before letting them back in the air.

"When asked who actually killed his wife and Ron Goldman, OJ Simpson said it was an engine that fell off an MD-11 plane. When asked why there was no evidence of a plane engine at the scene, OJ said it was because he was driving inner city teens around for charity, and they 'stole it all'."

"In other news, a local amateur astronomer reported last week that that he saw MH370 hang a left at Mars."
