Pinnacle had an even scarier mx failure a year and a half or so ago, but you won't hear about it since it happened at the gate. The hydraulic 3B pump blew up, and due to its location it destroyed not only the 3 system, but 1 and 2 as well. Oh... and also the fuel lines to the engines. Brilliant design, Canadair. They would have been left with no engines, no hydraulics, and no manual reversion.

Speaking of reports you'll never read, has anyone ever seen an NTSB report on the miracle on the hudson?
