The previous attempt to raise this issue – as below, has also been parked in spotters corner. Please afford the curtesy of explaining why.
Are events to be dismissed summarily at a Mod’s whim, without further consideration?
How might we know if the event is ‘Pprune newsworthy’ without first understanding the situation?
Is this a prejudgement of ‘only a minor incident’ or an incident not involving sensational graphic content; a choice which degrads Pprune ‘Rumours and News’ to tabloid content? No Disaster, Death, or Destruction, no opportunity to allocate error, blame and train; is the media appetite such that we do not wish to discuss underlying professional issues which might help us to safer operation.
Current levels of safety are very good, yet in order to improve new approaches are required; e.g. Safety 1 to Safety 2. One aspect of this involves looking at normal operations, what goes well, including the successes from minor events. If this is a ‘minor’ event, then let this be understood and shared so we might celebrate the success, learn from it and employ the activities as best practice.
We have a professional duty to improve; spotters might only wish log the event and park it as a statistic.
Mods: Previous thread on the recent 787 Engine shut down moved to spotters corner !! ???

Relatively new aircraft, recent ETOPS approval, technical failure or other; surely there must be some professional safety interest.
Add to that some background problems with the engine (on 747-8)
Three engines damaged during 747-8F ice encounter - 8/22/2013 - Flight Global
Which resulted in an airworthiness restriction for 747-8 and 787
GEnx icing issue prompts 747-8, 787 restriction, route withdrawals - 11/24/2013 - Flight Global
and a potential link with similar threat conditions (ice crystal icing), the same as AF447 (or have we short memories) … … and a rumour of concern about the other engine.
