So was I particularly unlucky to experience an IFSD as pax on a BA 757 out of LHR back in Oct 1999? I believe that would have been of these RR engines (but correct me if I'm wrong...reasonably well-informed SLF only!)

From a pax point of view, a bit more reassurance from the CC wouldn't have gone amiss. They looked more scared than us, and it was only the calm, "hey we do this all the time in the sim" voice from the flight deck which slowed the adrenaline. The ensuing landing seemed a bit different from normal to me (yeah, I know, I know...) - can someone humour me and tell me whether there are any differences in approach in these circumstances, apart from the obvious compensation for unilateral thrust?
