Lost one engine? Or a complete package of two engines?

What kind of conspiracy are you insinuating? It is not like engines never fall of planes...

A B-52H engine pylon is missing engine 3
following an aircraft mishap January 4, 2017, near Minot Air Force Base.
(U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman J.T. Armstrong)
The Air Force has released photos of the B52 engine
that plummeted to the ground during a training flight
- and of the aircraft after the incident.
First, the shot of the Pratt and Whitney engine as it was found
in the snow of the Clark Salyer National Wildlife Refuge,
25 miles northeast of Minot Air Force Base in January of last year 2017.
The B52 has eight engines aligned in four pods of two.
Next, a photo of the B52 after it and its five crew members had safely landed at the Minot base
and it had been moved into a hangar.
The Air Force says a failure of the First Stage Fan Disk caused
the Number Three engine to break off the wing of the bomber.
