757 Mayday Video
Just for your info. From my Boeing FCTM 777-300ER
Reverse Thrust- Engine Inoperative
" Asymmetrical reverse thurst may be used with one engine inoperative. Use normal reverse thrust procedures and techniques with the operating engine. If directional control becomes a problem during deceleration, return the thrust lever to the reverse idle position."
And we do,
in the sim

404, the flames popping from the rear of the engine indicate a series of compressor stalls - you can hear them on the tape. Gawd knows what the bird hit, but if it clogs up all those pressure sensor probes the FADEC won't know what to do hence the stalls.
YesTAM
I realise that the engine is experiencing repeated compressor stalls. I would say it is more to do with blade damage rather than sensor damage but I’m only guessing there. That is why I said it was still producing close to take-off thrust. It will all depend on the severity of the stalls which will dictate the amount of thrust still being produced. Also note in the video the amount of rudder deflection after the bird strike? There isn’t any. Last time I practiced this same scenario in the sim the engine was still producing thrust though it was all academic because if I didn’t shut it down pronto the bl**dy thing would have ripped itself off the wing. I would say the same here. The crew didn’t waste time shutting it down when they could.
