What makes me think it was true was the fact that you continued to your
destination. If it was a malfunction, then it would be hard to justify continuing (unless of course you're British Airways an have four engines...). A double compression stall on takeoff would be the absolute worst time for that to happen. I had a roomate a while back that was a flight attendant on the Pan Am 747 that lost an engine (as in "fell off" the wing) on takeoff. Still landed without further incident. And yes, she was quite attractive ![]() Marco Leon "Wiz" wrote in message ups.com... Marco: Don't know if it's true or not -- just what the pilot said... Cheers, Wiz Marco Leon (at) wrote: If it's really true that the crosswind caused the compression stall, I wonder why we don't hear about a double stall very often. Theoretically, the wind can be strong enough to affect both engines, no?
