As I have said before, carriers need to be ready with the TRUTH when one of these happens. The picture in the o/p is a single frame from a video. We know this because a compressor stall normally produces stabs of flame (I have seen another video showing that in this case) but the picture editor has taken the frame showing the most flame possible - because that is a 'better' photo.

If they got an on overweight 777 down for some lost tyres and a careful inspection of the gear and frame - it confirms that the Triple is 'old school metal'. Comforting.
