"Attention, "The flames you see mean we have just lost the far port side engine. But not to worry. The fire is now out and this plane has four engines. You won't even know that we are now flying on three. We will just land a bit behind schedule."
"Attention, The smoke coming out of the far starboard engine means it is now inoperable, but not to worry the ride may be a little bumpy, that's all and we estmate our arrival time at a plus one hour."
"Attention, The loud "bang" you just heard is the sound of the near side port engine failing. Not to worry, these planes really can fly on only one engine and your pilot is trained to deal with such situations. Our procedure for this is to reduce speed to save fuel. We now estimate our ETA at + 3 hours. So sit back and relax and have a glass of wine on us."
Passenger to another passenger, "I hope we don't lose that last engine or we'll be up here all night long."

Good one Frank. I missed it earlier. Had this happen on a Spanish airline coming back to Canada and half way across the Atlantic. We physically felt the deceleration. It did slow us down returning to Toronto and I'm sure a lot more alcohol was drunk on that trip.

... and the little clouds you see down below are actually the parachutes of the rest of the crew, but not to worry, I the Capitan of this plane will leave last...
