I think that the probable reason for that is that one engine got hit by more geese than the other! ...Good on it for hanging on till it hit the water :flying:

One engine probably fitted in Fance - they might find it blocking the entrance to the Hudson :roll: :lol:

Correction to my previous post: NTSB now say only one engine is missing, apparently it was so murky yesterday the divers missed the one engine that remained attached to the wing, The pilot is to be interviewed on tommorow's "Today" show for those in the US.
