I was on a flight and the captain's voice comes over the PA, advising us that due to a problem with No1 engine, they were shutting it down,, But the plane could fly perfectly well on three engines and we'd now be 1hr late landing at Heathrow.. Half an hour later, he came on again telling us that he'd had to shut down engine No2,,, but please don't worry, this plane can fly perfectly well on the remaining two engines, ,,,,,, but we'd now be two hours late landing at Heathrow. An hour later his voice comes over the PA telling us that ,,, yep, they'd had problems with engine No3,, but not to worry, the plane was perfectly capable of flying with the one remaining engine, ,,,,, but,, we'd now be 4 hrs late landing at Heathrow.. Chap in the seat next to me, turned to me and said,,, "I hope the remaining engine doesn't pack up, otherwise we'll be up here all night."
