Yes that was the "press quote", and I did caveat my post with "appears" etc.
As you say, it might be I misinterpreted the post and it means 2 "problems" with a single engine, or it could still mean 2 engines. It is after all a summary / leak of a much fuller report, so probably not worth extensively discussing without seeing that report.
Interesting this part of the statement
before decision was made to abort with the known consequences.
if it was made for a perceived single engine problem? It would then appear an "interesting" decision to say the least... An alternative issue could be confusion between cockpit crew members over 2 identified problems (e.g. surges?), but unsure if they related to the same or different engines?
If it was 2 engines, then 2 seconds to decide to reject after the second is a PDQ decision, given the exceptional circumstances...
