A321 with IAE V2533 engines. With a powerful enough twin, engine failures are a bit ho-hum because of bi-annual sim practice.

News24 would never ruin a good story with the truth. The mere thought of ze meticulous Germans having something go wrong is unthinkable! Makes for a good sensationalised story!
