Chubbs,
Sorry my old cherry but I disagree with you. An engine failure, fire (a contained one!) or any other regularly practiced emergency is only a big deal to those whom have trouble doing them correctly in a simulated environment. The actual emergency in the aeroplane (or practiced) is without a doubt easier to handle than a simulator induced one.
It sounds like the CREW handled this one well, I bet they also handle their 6 monthly checks well and weren´t terribly phased by this event.
We gotta get tougher in the simulator etc to stop others not as proficient ´getting thru´ regardless of economics!
