Well, I was flying into Myrtle Beach from Orlando in a US Airways 757-200 when my #2 eng. went out. 1st pic.

...

I couldn't keep speed up and was over the ocean and knew I had no choice but to ditch it.  The cabin was prepared for the impact.

...

So I started the evacuation (can't see any slides though)

...

And luckly everyone got out safely and the coast guard brought us to shore.

...

Hope you enjoyed these!!

Yup, I had some heavy people on board and the peanuts just pushed them over the edge!  Really I don't know what the deal was.  I lost the engine, it was doing fine, but then after I turned the 1 1/2 mile final, I just lost all lift and went down. Nothing I could do to recover it. Sorry. Kiss
