Sounds scary, a passenger interviewed on 1010 WINS this morning said they turned out the cabin lights to search for fire.
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
A report on the radio here this morning said that the right hand cockpit window was broken - they didn't say when it got broken, but that the co-pilot had "injuries consistent with broken glass" in his face....sounds like it was really a scary ride - when I left this morning - the a/c was on the hard stand.

why do you think he went to PBI rather then Miami, they arent that far apart flying and MIA is an AA hub?
Overheard on JFK TOWER - S Turns are fine, U-Turns are bad....
Ehh, when you think the plane might be on fire I think you're probably not worried about getting to a company hub as much as just landing ASAP.
