One Engine Left

A 747 plane was halfway across the Atlantic when the captain got on the loud speaker， “Attention， passengers. We have lost one of four engines， but we can certainly reach London with the three we have left. Unfortunately， we will arrive an hour late as a result.” After a while， the passengers heard the captains voice again， “Guess what， folks. We just lost our third engine， but please be assured we can fly with only one. We will now arrive in London three hours late.” At this point， one passenger became angry. “For Petes sake，” he shouted， “If we lose another engine， well be up here all night！”
