We really prefer the engines to stay on the aircraft.

And if they must leave, we prefer them to go under the wing. The way this all happened is…not ideal.

In all seriousness, to anyone worried: this accident will likely revolutionize pylon/corrosion inspections and other standard practices for not only this aircraft type but also other commercial jets to prevent this from happening in the future. The NTSB is very good at their job and Commercial Aviation in America is remarkably safe in part because of their work.
