Once again, in order to try and quell some of the uninformed specualtors, engines losing thrust do not necessarily have to be "silent" or shut down! As long as they are unable to provide the commanded thrust or the necessary thrust to overcome the drag to maintain the flight profile then you have a significant problem.

So, would the speculators who have very little obvious idea of what is involved, please sit back and read rather than postulate with obvious lack of understanding! We need all the bandwidth we can get at the moment!

A Trent engine, even at idle power will sound like it is "roaring" if you are standing close enough!
