i thought this would have been impossible, its not only dodgy but shows how good the engines are.

Hows it going guys,

The engines are so finely balanced I am afraid this is rubbish.

If you look on You tube under 'A380 Blade Off Test ' you will see what happens , definitely not flying anymore. Also some good ones shooting birds into running engines to simuiate bird strike.

Sorry I couldnt link this : (
