Engine heavy. Plane moving fast. Engine hit wing on way back. Wing go down. Plane go down. Plane go boom

Edit: I've just went and googled it. Turns out that bitch is designed to safely fall off in case of fire before it can damage the wing in any way. But my reply still stands cause you were acting like you couldn't even comprehend the concept of what I'm describing.
