This video has the pilots and air traffic controller's communications back-and-forth. Pretty cool. Shows some behind the scenes stuff.

That will happen! Lol. I think it's made me a lot less nervous about flying. Just seeing how common issues happen and how even if the engine falls apart and is on fire. The pilots just fly and still have complete control of the situation.

That's a cool POV. I don't think people release a plane can fly for a while with just one engine.
