Concur with the thrust of the comment and think that anonymity gives folks the latitude to write things without deep thought or knowledge. I will wait for further news as to why the one engine failed but rejoice the pilot and crew brought the plane back safely. I think the Dreamliner is a better plane that its competition.

I would also concur with NorthMountain's comments.

I am also interested as to why the engine failed.

My question is: "Does the FADEC have authority to shut an engine down if certain criteria is met?

For example if the aircraft is above 10,000 feet, the airspeed is at or above best single engine cruise speed, and the other engine is operating with no malfunctions, can the FADEC shut the engine down without pilot input?

My guess is no.
