QF1820 (B717) turnback to YPPH
Forget it!
Big deal! Don't make an issue of engine failures unless there is some unusual repercussions. It is just food for press vultures. If you have a large diverse fleet, you will have the occaissional failure. Same applies to everything from light bulbs to airconditioning.
There are plenty of reasons why turnbacks should be ignored by the press. A bang and shutdown in a twin is not one of them. Modern engines are supposed to be better than that.
Given the lack of "we're all gunna die" press, the situation seems to have been well-handled by the crew.

I hear it was NXE. Incident: Qantas B712 at Perth on May 2nd 2011, engine shut down in flight
Ahhh NXE... the old Nancy Byrd of Nobham... lost count of the stick shakers it's had not to mention the re-modelling that took place at DN.
