Best not to be at a SA airport when the King of SA is aboard his 747 at the same airport !

     I don't think anyone is trying to determine the cause, but there is some 
concern about flight safety when a catastrophic incident such as this occurs.  
Many years ago a Horizon Airlines Metroliner had a similar failure when the #2
(right) prop hub failed.  One blade of the propeller went through the fuselage, 
cutting a passenger in half.  Because of that I'm reluctant to take a seat in 
line with the prop disk.

     There was a similar indicent with a reserve C-130A up in Michigan where 
the #3 prop hub failed, taking out both hydraulic systems and two other engines.

     And don't forget the DC-10 that lost all hydraulics after an engine 
failure and ended up crash landing in Sioux Falls.
