Stuff happens. No biggie. Safe landing, no fire. Crew did as they were trained to do. Why is this even a story. If man makes it, at some point and time it will break or wear out.
Sounds like a compressor stall resulting in engine failure.
I think it sounded more like this.....BANG!
resulting in bowel failure
Why is this news... Doh... This is not a big deal. How many people died... I mean really, crews are supposed to be trained on what to do in a emergency and tells them exactly what to do.
"neophyte journalists looking for notoriety"??
Just because, from a purely technical point of view for the "well-informed", this may not be a "biggie", not every passenger aboard the flight is such an internationally-esteemed propulsion expert as yourself, so reporting the event -- and explaining what happened -- is a perfectly legitimate news story.
And after what happened recently to an Air Canada B.777, an engine that makes a loud bang and emits flames could have been more serious than this turned out to be.
If you are so contemptuous of how the media reports aviation news, why do you read their reports? Or if you must, why don't you contact them directly with your concerns so they're aware of them instead of posting them here where the reporter, editor, and publisher of the item won't see it? Or is that the idea?

Personal opinion about the journalists notwithstanding, I think the journalist overeacted. I do think the crew did an excellent job, BUT, although everyone of these can be a little different, these situations are trained for continually and the crew did exactly as they should have, having a proper outcome. No telling in a week's time, how many engine failures will be experienced. Not any where near all make the news, and as I said, if man makes it, it will break or wear out at some point.
Of which AC777 do you speak?

Why don't you mind your business and let me mind mine. I gave an opinion, and I'm entitled to it. There are much more serious issues to discuss these days than to try to make big news everytime turbine engine sneezes, as Preacher and others can affirm. The website in the post is a list of practically EVERY incident in aviation from around the world. Look through the list and see how many times this kind of thing happens. Yeah, it can be a big deal if you're on the plane, but mainly because it's gonna make you late. Not because you're likely to crash.
