Excellent video though although I'm not sure about the legality of the ATC audio alongside.
While I can see that it's probably illegal at the moment, providing public version of this sort of event does give some insight into what's happening for a "routine" engine failure at a critical point in flight. I know the CVR gets vetted before any of it is made public now, after one notorious incident.

Interesting to see/hear the misfiring engine, useful to be aware of it all in case I'm ever sitting next to an engine doing similar tricks. Presumably the delay to shutdown is due to the crew doing everything in a set order.
