It would be mundane if it were merely in inflight shutdown. I thought a 4 engine machine that shuts one engine down normally would continue to destination. And why not just land - looks like it held at FL100 at BUBIN for nearly an hour before making an approach. These 2 facts suggest (to me anyway) that there may be more to this than just an inflight shutdown.
