It is really interesting to see what people write.....There is a lot of tosh!
Yes there was a engine trouble...the right one. Yes there was a mayday yes there was a code bravo.....No we did not dump any fuel whatsoever!..i don't think the 757 can dump fuel anyway.....and how could they have seen...It was peach black!
The right engine was overheating as there was a pb with a valve.
Landing was a normal and in fact extremely smooth both engines still runnning.
Engine fire met a/c as standard procedure. Pax informed twice about this standard procedure when a/c is in difficulty.
Crew were busy making sure everything was in order. Crew had time to answer to 2 pax ready to help as in the business.
All the rest you can here is speculation.
