There was another flight from West Palm Beach to Atlanta a few years back. Delta Lockhead Tristar jumbo jet. Taxied out towards the runway and the pilot comes on the intercom telling us they can't get the third (tail) engine to fire that he is going to have to pull over and maintenance will come take a look.

About 15 minutes later you here drilling, banging, all kinds of noise. Was pretty freaky - really like being in a tin can. After about 30 minutes pilot announces the engine is fixed and about 300 nervous ppl look around as if they were wishing they were on another flight. Finally time to take off and he took every inch of that runway to get that big bird in the air!!
