No prob.

I was speaking from personal experience of the EXACT same scenario after I had a left engine multiple surge in one of the sister 757s some years ago. I got down the steps to find the cowls opened by a local eng and the fire crew. After getting a good (ex eng) eye of the lack of damage I returned to the FD and got involved in about 40 minutes of phone calls.

Once on the ground and off the plane the pax are in the hands of the local handling agent and maybe a few company holiday reps who may have zero experience of handling such events.
