The phrase “pucker factor” comes to mind.

Impressive as hell at night (grin).
I won’t lie, I’m a little jealous (assuming you were at an eyebrow-retaining safe distance!)

This is only a news story because one terrified passenger sent goodbye texts and was subsequently embarrassed because he or she didn’t die.

If the engine was the problem why mention the plane’s manufacturer?

Kind of a non-story: the plane malfunctioned, it landed, and nobody was injured. The EndBut, they gotta get Boeing in the headline somehow.

Um....I dunno ... a 757 engine burning, in midair IS a story.
Every picture tells a story ... even the one of this engine bursting into flames.

I know of no aircraft that has crashed due to compressor stall perhaps I am wrong on this. I find it odd it occurred at cruse altitude. The flight recorder will tell us what happened.

Those pictures and are inconsistent with 36,000 ft. They are below the cloud deck.
It is also inconceivable that the engine would be kept running until attaining a lower altitude.

Cmon man.
People want to scream, shout, and run around flailing their arms in the air .
Your logic just ruins the fun.
To: dagunk
Video at the NYPost site shows the engine fire pulsing. Your thoughts on that as a professional?

Yeah, lots of birds up at 36,000 feet!
To: NorthMountain
Looks like compressor stalls.
Why the pilot didn’t kill the engine is a good question. Those things will fly on one engine.

Oh Yeah. You stand off to the side in case the plane jumps the chocks. The engine is run up to takeoff thrust then the throttle gets pulled back to see if it stalls.
