Very easily could have been me. Sounds like the crew did a good job. I just flew that plane last week to Guam. Lots of water out there....

The question you should be asking is why did we ever put guppies on widebody routes.

No kidding.



Sounds like the engine didn't fail, just lost its cowling.

Ah, the engine didn't "fail" the cowling departed the engine and it continued to develop thrust.

Video on KHON shows one fan blade missing and another with half the blade missing. Sure looks like the engine did fail.

The engine was not shut down and it was running when taxiing to the gate... But hey, don't let facts get in the way..
