Fifteen minutes into the flight from Kansas City to Toronto, the captain announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, one of our
engines has failed. There is nothing to worry about. Our flight will take an hour longer than scheduled, but we still have
three engines left." Thirty minutes later the captain announced, "One more engine has failed and the flight will
take an additional two hours. But don't worry ... we can fly just fine on two engines." An hour later the captain announced,
"One more engine has failed and our arrival will be delayed another three hours. But don't worry ... we still have one
engine left." A young child passenger turned to his mother in the next seat and remarked, "If we lose one more engine,
we'll be up here all day!"
