This was a big deal here in Missouri when it happened. At the time, no one had any idea why the engines failed. I don't know enough about planes to know why an engine would fail at a certain altitude, but if they didn't go over the maximum altitude, they should have been fine. Shouldn't the manufacturer still be held at least partially liable if thy didn't EXCEED he maximum altitude and the altitude caused the engines to fail?
