> How many passengers are even aware of contained engine failures? All of them. If they somehow miss the noise and vibration, they'll definitely notice the fire and/or smoke trailing out of the engine. Compressor failures aren't minor events. If it happens during certain phases of flight the asymmetric thrust can create a severe challenge for the crew. More than one airliner has crashed as a result. Asymmetric thrust due to an autothrottle problem may be why Sriwijaya 182 (a 737) crashed last month.
