OMG! Was that just 'excessive' vibration???

What went through it? Can't believe that the engine would run at all! I'm amazed that the whole thing didn't fall off.

That double blue stripe on the fuselage kind of hints to me that this could be a plane made in Russia since a lot of the IL Russian planes come with those markings. This means the plane could be second-hand and the engine also Russian.

But that's just an assumption...
