Narrative:

#1 oil pressure light came on. #1 oil quantity dropped to zero, #1 oil pressure dropped below limits. #1 engine shutdown per operations manual. Handled without incident at lga, the nearest suitable airport. 5 trucks were standing by. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter flies the B727-200 for a major united states air carrier. Maintenance told him that 'a seal gave way and the oil went out the back.' there was no damage. The 2 engine approach was not just like the simulator, 'the aircraft is always better than the simulator.'
