53. the engine that said it could
That question can only be answered relative to where the engine lands in the building. Is it freed from the imposition of the cement floor and the steel trusses? If so it would probably continue in its slightly left trajectory knocking out walls and blowing over furniture if need be until it reached a core column where it would probably come to a stop. If it evaded the core column(s)it would continue on to the far wall and emerge if it still had enough volition. If the engine were to hit on the cement floor section and steel trusses it would be slowed to a stop in short order. At any rate this whole speculation is moot considering that the projectile that emerged from the wall was way too long and too big to be an engine.
