A 757 and other airliners can fly and climb on a single engine, and the aircraft has an engine fire suppression system. If there had been an actual engine fire the pilots would have pulled the engine fire handle and executed the procedure for a single-engine climb, turn, and return to the airport. It sounds like what actually happened was a compressor stall, which can be caused by a variety of things and which is an interruption to the intake of air into the engine's compressor section, resulting in loss of power, loud bangs and sometimes smoke and flames from the exhaust section. They'd have shut that engine down to avoid further damage. It probably was frightening for the passengers, and it certainly would not have been the fault of Boeing, but the report makes it sound much worse than it was - but The Mirror is a tabloid, and it it bleeds it leads.

from the breathless "reporting".

These were almost certainly made by GE

It's spread everywhere. Ridiculously overblown headlines for clicks. Modern version of the old supermarket check-out line crap:

*"Police say he's 2 ft. and VERY dangerous."

Their moms were grabbing them at the store checkout counter and left them on the kitchen table or gossiped about them in front of the kids. Explains the insanity of Qanon and MAGA. They were raised on papers that said "JFK Jr is ALIVE working at Waffle House" lol. (I remember seeing that actual headline lol"

I couldn't resist this one. This is my copy. It's weathered nicely in my keepsake chest. George Herbert Bush was on like page 4.

The dept. chair where I was adjunct--or was it the next office over?--had the office door plastered with bat child front pages (I could have sworn it was the more alliterative 'bat boy', but this one's non-binary for additional retrograde horror?).

This was a dept. where a professor also kept a large cane in his office--not that he needed it for locomotion, but because across the hall a professor brought in a large bodied, large toothed, small amiability dog. That also being equally across from my (now ex) wife's office, where my kid spent time when I needed to have him in day care, and where I spent time, my souvenir cricket bat also spent time. Cane, cricket bat, both good for swinging and dispelling large-toothed predators. (Sadly, when packing, my rubber-grip-bereft British-made souvenir striker was left behind, to protect the future denizens of said office.)

So, is a cricket bat boy to be understood as a [ cricket [ bat boy ] ] or a [ cricket-bat [ boy ]? Ah, my mathematical linguistics grad professor Ed would not like that, because they should mean the same. But cannot. Oh, noes. (Okay, okay, 2 different two-way changes in meanings, Ed; changing definitions mid-derivation is, um, not cricket. Continue to deservedly RIP.)

Last time it was Boeing being IMMEDIATELY blamed for the Air India disaster.

Instead of dying, they had to sleep in the terminal!

The horror!

News story ran without any data that could be considered in this event. Boeing builds them, airlines mostly have their own mainterance crews. Plane could have tons of hours logged++many more questions could be asked.
Can't trust the news any longer.

Lower than the NY Post IMO. Nevertheless if an engine failure brought a Boeing aircraft down, notwithstanding redundancies, few would be dissecting the nitty gritty of engine maintence.

as far as Boeing would be concerned.

Boeing would be concerned.

An engine did.

Engines are made by either GE, or Pratt. & Whitney, or a joint venture company called CFM for some engines.
Or, in his case, the 757-300 at Condor all use the Rolls Royce RB-211 engine.

Engines have fire inside them all the time.

It’s only if the fire leaks out that there is a concern.

It's just that the fire is controlled under normal operation; you shouldn't be able to see it. It's only if you do see the fire that there's a problem.

from the right engine.. didn't know that it wouldn't catch the plane on Fire.

They went through a Terrifying Traumatic experience. Be nice if the airlines gifted them Vouchers.

Not seeing the tracking data I would imagine that it was the turn after takeoff to head to their normal destination. Brindisi is pretty much on line with Dusseldorf.
