Suspension of belief

Discovering that knowing too much about how real aircraft work, can sap some of the enjoyment out of watching tv and movies. Watching the first episode of lost, the plane has crashed and people are reeling from the event. I see the jet engine lying on the ground still running and sucking in wreckage and all I can think is "That's not right, that engine has no fuel and no power controls like that. Not possible for it to be running.". Then there is the classic explosion of jet fuel and instead of enjoying the loud boom and pretty colors the brain kicks in again "Hold up, jet fuel is highly stable and has a higher flash point than gasoline.". Sometimes knowledge can ruin your fun.
