UA 863 reported an engine failure to the tower controller and said they were going out two miles and then turning to a heading of 310, probably one of those company generated engine-out procedures that ATC knows nothing about. Works great in the sim. The tower missed the engine out comment and kept telling United to follow the GNNRR TWO departure.
Could have declared a PAN. Oh wait, they're in America.
