Inflight crisis A 747 was on a transatlantic flight. Over the middle of the ocean the lose an engine. The pilot over the PA says donāt worry folks we can fly in 3 engines. About 5 minutes later they lose another engine. The pilot says donāt worry we have jettisoned all the luggage and with the weight reduction we can make land. Soon a third engine conks out. They throw out anything they can. The pilot says we have gotten rid of all the excess eight and we can make land if we reduce another 600 pounds. So we need three men to volunteer to jump out of the plane. An older Brit stands up snd says āGod save the kingā and jumps out. A Frenchman stands up and says āviva la Franceā and jumps out . A Texan stands up and says āremember the Alamoā snd threw out a Mexican.
