Beeline thanks for the elucidation. It's natural for pax to think it's the fuel that goes bang on account of wot that iz wot it normally doz ...
When I experienced the compressor stall ex-HKG I had the chance to ask the flight crew about it later in the night (ah, the delights of travelling in 1991!). They were 'shrug shoulders' about it as they had been able to recover it soon after and we toddled home without further ado.
(Interesting to see the name
Beeline appear again!)
