 Stuck in the US - helicopter
To have five engine failures in one flight is a bit excessive....especially if you only have four engines to start off with.

BBC News 24 interviewed the engineer from that flight yesterday and he was asked if there was any panic in the passengers or crew.

I loved his typical British understated response to the effect of 'One woman passenger did scream but her husband had a sharp word with her and she calmed down' ....... the crew were a bit busy going through the drill trying to restart the engines.... I bet they were.
