The old PeopleExpress developed an engine problem on a 747 going from EWR
to OAK. The pilot landed at DEN. PeopleExpress simply said "bye bye" and
left the passengers to fend for themselves to get to OAK. The aircraft's
engine was repaired and then it was ferried from DEN back to EWR for its
next scheduled trip. PeopleExpress went out of business a few months
later.
