Most likely a lose of a engine show the plane taking off, like falling off the wing. Airport CCTV footage showed the left engine detaching from the wing on take off. .

Was the wing on fire at that time or afterwards from fuel sparing everywhere.

And yet, the B-52 is still being used after 70 years, with upgraded engines.

I have to think they swap engines occasionally and do metallurgical testing of the mounting points. I guess we'll find out if the bolts came out/broke or if the mount itself failed. Hopefully, it's not sabotage- we definitely don't need that to become a common event.

B52s have an intense maintenance system. Does UPS for the MD11? Why would it be sabotage rather than negligence?

Occams razor - the simplest possibility is the most likely one!

Incompetence in maintenance is much more likely than sabotage.

But there will be a major investigation, and people will be looking for very public explanations!
