I love their use of the word “detached”. It sounds so clinical, boring, and routine.
No. A BURNING ENGINE FELL OFF THE PLANE. Let’s not play with words and attempt to make the situation sound less fucked up than it is.

That is the language from the investigators though. It shouldn’t be sensationalized. Let the news articles handle that. The official report should just say what happened without anyone needing to get SLAMMED.
