@ Dan et al

Sorry, can't resist. You had a "similar engine failure", hope you don't mean as a result of smashing it really badly onto the RWY and GA ? Seriously, I assume your remarks are in context of previous messages on fuel and hydraulic lines being cut and blablabla, and particularly the one saying its "only sparks and no smoke" (so no fire....).

Please let's not start a discussion of what constitutes an engine fire. Wing seemed (potentially) structurally damaged, engine severely bumped (think of pilon-attachment damage) and seemed to malfunction (whether defined as fire or not), all in all not very handy to keep on flying around with, certainly not in such multiple tight turns as the F/C initiated after aborting the second approach to 05 and positioning for 35L.
