Article: NTSB: Emirates 777 continued flight after loud bang, messages
This could have been a disastrous ending. Ignoring engine "bang" followed by multiple messages "advising" the crew could have resulted in
any kind of engine disintegration either in the air, or when reversing thrust on touchdown. Consider secondary damages also.
Not being a 777 driver, I nevertheles would have thought it prudent to
land the aircraft ASAP and assess the damage. Better safe than sorry ,even if it costs the airline some money !
By admission of learned crew members, they would not have departed with the aircraft with the engine in the condition it turned out to be.
Enough said.
