Gosh, get it over with !
The a/c is on ground and everyone's safe. Capt did his job. What else do you people want ?
This thread seems to be full of people who are offering illogical suggestions with no grasp of what an emergency in a multi-engine means or no respect to the captain in question or the professionals in SQ who were involved in this diversion by offering these suggestions and thinking they are better than them. They tried to look knowledgable but just failed miserably.
Anyway, based on the ECAM messages, I would say it seems to be bearing failure or shaft failure. And since bearing/shaft failures are isolated to the respective engine, the crew did the right thing by shutting it down and taking up FOCC's suggestion to fly CDG as there was no real danger of the problem spreading as no common factors affecting all engines was involved.(fuel) Thus saving a logistical and financial nightmare.
Hmmmm, Monita
Nice one there, Hetfield.
Pretty much sums up this thread.
