Kind of a non-story: the plane malfunctioned, it landed, and nobody was injured. The End
I had similar happen to me about an hour into a flight on an Airbus A319 in the late 1990s. I heard a loud bang and saw a shower of sparks coming from the engine. Pilot calmly described it as a ‘non catastrophic engine failure.’ We had what seemed like a normal landing at a closer airport with no incident. Firetrucks waited for us but were not needed.

But, 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.
This was an emergency that is more common than most are aware. 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.

Cmon man.
People want to scream, shout, and run around flailing their arms in the air .
Your logic just ruins the fun.
