Input from insider
The following from a friend in the industry:
"Some more info. Probably not the greatest idea to use it for reverse. Fuel Oil cooler failed internally Oil pressure dropped oil quantity also erratic. Engine return to idle for last 2 hours of the flight.
Pilot lands but applies full reverse thrust. Engine burst into flames and heat melts fuel tank access panels. More fire than can be handled by on board systems PAX sit and watch the show."
