    And that's only with 2 engines!
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    I think they were extended during the taxi shots, but were up during the car-blasting.

    imagine if they drove the car 5 ft behind the engine exhausts?
