    One engine Qantas landing

    Scary moment Qantas plane engine cuts off mid-air
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    Part of their certification is the ability to continue climb and do a go around and function on one engine if I am not mistaken!

    More important is.... what caused the low oil pressure?

    The formula for pressure is here, and how you define lower pressure. That made me LOL Eevo!

    Pressure - Wikipedia

    The reason for the oil pressure drop would be academic, unless you were on the aircraft. I would certainly hope the company offered an explanation, no doubt the aircraft can continue on with one engine. How far could it go with none. Was the drop in pressure caused by bad maintenance, pump failure, a slack culture on the maintenance side? Something like this is nothing to joke about. It's too late if you get the answer on air crash investigation.

    Nice disco, BTW.

    Sometimes moving parts fail. Maybe it was poor maintenance, poor design, bad batch of metal or about a gazillion other things. Mean time between failure on modern turbofan engines is huge, but as a world wide fleet they are flying huge hours every day of the year.
