Yes, hence why I said the press will focus on this because of parts raining down. An airliner having an engine issue and returning single engine though is a routine thing... usually without missing parts.

- Cederfjard 6y agoWhen you say things like ”the press will make a big deal out of this”, one might take it to be implied that they shouldn’t. I hear you that returning with one engine might be fairly routine, but isn’t it fair to make a thing out of large chunks of metal falling from planes over populated areas?
