Nothing standard about an engine failure with a modern high bypass turbine engine.
I agree ...the truth lies somewhere between a pax. claim of bursting in to flames or w.t.t.e and the company assertion of a loss of power and shutdown and return to base..ho hum. There seems a credible account by one pax of' sparks and vibration'and scurrying cabin crew to the flight deck where hopefully the problem had already been recognised or a good reason why it hadn't been. Interesting engines these trent 900s-wonder if it might be a similar QF 32 event
