what caused this, a flame out? bird strike? volcanic ash?
it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
Not many birds at 35,000+ feet, nor am I aware of any volcanoes erupting in that area. Must have been run of the mill mechanical failure.
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
Please do not quote me but I was told that they ran out of Columbian Coffee... :borat:
The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

Would this be the first time a T7 has lost an engine?
No, El Al has had a few.
