That's slightly more exciting than the report of "some sparks were seen coming from an engine before it was shut down as a precaution" report I'd seen in another outlet earlier this morning.

There are at least two, maybe three, other similar threads on here.

MSNBC had the usual "breathless" headline of passenger reactions, to include "are we going to die" and "we were praying" and much else.
Filtering through the media nonsense, it's pretty obvious that there was an engine malfunction, crew dealt with it and returned to base the way professional aviators do.
Non-story, must be a slow news day out there. :p
