    Well it has six engines. I'd be a bit worried if it lost three. Brings to mind the story of the the B52 being escorted by an F4. The F4 pilot was bored and began performing barrel rolls around the B52. Irritated, the B52 Captain suggested he could do something the Phantom pilot couldn't do. Incredulous the F4 pilot, said 'Go for it'. 'There I've done it' said the B52 Captain. 'What?' said the F4 pilot. 'I don't see anything'. 'I've shutdown three engines' said the B52 Commander.

    It's quite a machine the AN225.

    It was actually an AN-124. Lost an engine coming from Goose Bay. Normal landing into SNN. No real drama.
