Engine "failure"??

Further to the Miri engine incident, my understanding is that the engine was not shut down. The crew noticed a torque split and high T4.5, the drills were followed and the engine pulled back to idle. It remained in the idle gate until after landing back at Miri.
Kinda makes the journo's description look a little bit suspect
Engine inspection showed a lot of damage to the compressors caused by a rivet. It's obviously a pretty robust piece of kit
