Part 4/7:
The aircraft, now reliant on two engines on the left side, began to yaw dangerously to the right. Despite Boeing's training manuals stating that the 747 could still fly with two engines from the same wing, the reality was far more complex. With hydraulic systems compromised from the engine detachment, control elements like ailerons and even landing gear began to fail as the crew fought against the increasing asymmetry of thrust.
Ground witnesses noted the ominous sound of failing engines and objects falling from the heavens, marking the unfolding disaster that the cockpit crew could not yet fully comprehend. With no significant means for making left-hand turns due to damages, the pilots faced an uphill challenge to navigate the aircraft back toward the runway.
