Ignore that part about high airframe vibrations (severe damage)as an immediate reason to shut down the engine.
But who knows all the details other than the crew. Good job getting it down in mostly one piece.

The local news reported passengers were terrified when having to duck and brace for landing, as the F/A's gave the brace, brace, brace command.
Never heard of that on an engine out approach. Maybe the departed cowling took out part of the gear indicating circuit.

I’m sure I’ll be hearing all about it in the next couple of days. But until we get the actual report it’s all unicorns and fairy dust to try and guess.

That high vibration can get nasty on Pratts.

I sometimes wonder about how well some of the most hyperbole laden spectators on this site would do if it was their engine? Probably run the fuel imbalance checklist.
Have enough professional integrity to refrain from commenting about the facts regarding the actions of a fellow crew that you're not even in possession of yet.
I swear to god, I hope some of you are seventeen year old posers pretending to be United pilots, because your SA blows.
Airhoss ges it.

So, lighten up Francis. No one is assigning blame here. It is an internet chat board.
Go be the hall pass monitor elsewhere.

I don't have access to a 777 checklist but I'd wonder what line of thinking would go in to shutting down a motor when over the middle of the ocean. I can see shutting it down over land or if the vibration was above tolerances and creating control issues but the little bird on my shoulder would be screaming keep it running over the middle of the water....

It’s a judgment call what to consider excessive vibration. You will know it when you see it. Let’s wait for the facts to come out.
