For those of you thinking the aeroplane was about to shake itself apart, Mr Boeing offers this advice:
Certain engine failures, such as fan blade separation can cause high levels of airframe vibration. Although the airframe vibration may seem severe to the Flight Crew, it is extremely unlikely that the vibration will damage the airplane structure or critical systems.
I wonder if Airbus has the same faith in its own airframes/systems.
