Nice pictures, sort of looks like a shuttle "pod". Been through Manaus and Bogota many times. I want to say rwy 33L/R faces mountains and is usually landing / take off direction. Heavy engine out would suck, I don't see why they can't get a ferry permit back to KMIA, should not be a problem empty.

Never seen a CF-6 shear off a turbine section/tailcone. Must have been last few stages. They are known for spitting blades "coreing out".
