Sorry to be so forthright, EGLD, but balls.
This aircraft had an engine surge. This is a forseen occasional problem, and the redundant systems (other engines) are more than capable of taking the workload. All gas turbines have occasional surges. They are of minor interest to us here in a large transport aircraft, as are all aviation incidents, but there is not a lot that can go wrong at 50,000 ft due to a surge! When my friend had one at 30' in the hover, attached to a ship (hover in-flight refuelling) then that could have developed into a news story, but in Concorde in the cruise? Not news at all, never any chance of developing into news, and certainly not the major news that was presented to the public by irresponsible news media.
I think you mistake the special interest of those here to whom it is news for importance to the general public, who will misundersrtand this if it is presented as news at all, however that is done. Even mentioning such a trivial incident on national news makes too much of it, so misleads the public.
