If I'd been a passenger on the flight I would be extremely unhappy if I happened to read some of the FACTS as proposed by baengman.

A very brave decision to shut the motor down because it impacts EtOPS?

5 tons remaining, apparently not all of it useable?

These aeroplanes are so good that it seems to me they are creating a feeling of infallibility, probably encouraged by the beancounters and 'pilots' that no longer fly. Big mistake IMHO.

And yes I'm a real current Boeing Captain , just one who has been and expects will be scared on occasion.
