I haven't read anything about this yet, but engine failure + smoke probably = uncontained failure, which could also mean loss of a control system, loss of electrical systems, and possible structural issues, not to mention that whole "really flammable gas possibly spewing from aircraft" thing.

you're right, what do I know? only been doing it for 34 years


to the avg person, an engine failure with a cabin full of smoke is alarming ... surely you understand that ... it didn't look to me as if anyone was making crosses on their chests or anything similar, but it's a situation most of us would find a bit unnerving, to say the least ...

I get that, my comments about jetblue were tongue in cheek, anytime there's a malfunction, emergency, bird ingestion, whatever, and the crew gets the jet back on the ground with everyone safe, they've done a fine job, I also understand the anxiety that most people have when flying, they are entering an environment that is somewhat unknown to them and are relinquishing a significant amount of control,didn't mean to sound flippant

ETA: my sarcasm tends to increase when I see the drama and gross inaccuracies that the media attach to every aviation "incident"
