There's a great documentary of that project, we borrowed it from our local library last year. I think it all went down 10+ years ago. The guy heading the project was not someone I would ever want to work for. His priorities seemed to be: Schedule, Publicity, Safety, and Personnel; in that order. There was talk a couple years ago of going back to retrieve the engines. The investors wanted to recoup some of their losses. The chief mechanic gave the project everything he had.
