This Engine Fact Is Kept Secret For A Reason

via google

Another fact about flying that your flight attendant will never reveal is what happens in a flight if the plane’s engine dies. This situation is obviously a worst-case scenario, and not mentioning it helps keep passengers from panicking.

That truth, however, is that planes can glide perfectly fine if the engine goes out. Pilots are trained for this exact scenario, too. So, while it may be a scary situation to think about, it’s not actually as life-or-death as it may sound.
