Less than 10% are 88s, but nice try.
I’m sure there were some drawers that needed changing after that but single engine ops are trained regularly.

Given I dont have the ability to sustain a fall from 30000 feet, I would be shitting myself.

I’d calmly tell the flight attendant to notify the pilot and shut the engine down...
Do you think they wouldn’t know? With the nosecone missing I’m sure the engine was experiencing compression stalls, which are anything but subtle.

So much comfort in knowing there is just one engine moving that large airplane. Yes one engine is capable, but not optimal.
I’m guessing you won’t be taking any international flights any time soon since most twin-engine widebodies are certified to run on 1 engine for up to 3 hours.

Curious, if the engine is off, why are the bearings glowing red hot on the front fan, wouldn't it lock up?
That’s more than likely the shaft glowing from the friction.
