Many years ago my brother was on a MAC flight out of Fairbanks to Tinker AFB in OK.
He was coming from Seoul (Kimpo)
Bob, my brother was in the jump seat (eng). Somewhere over Oregon he noticed a red light blinking. He asked the pilot if everything was 5x5. Pilot said no problem.
Now they’re over NV and another red light comes on. This time with an alarm. Not good.
So my brother asked the pilot if everything was okay.
Pilot said no problem.
The KC 135 landed at Tinker with 2 engines
File this under wtf over.
5.56mm
One engine quit.
They were headed straight for the Acropolis.
Three engines were enough.
Other than preferring to remain alive, he said he didn't want to be remembered as the American pilot who destroyed the Acropolis.
I’ve heard similar stories. Your brother was in capable hands.

Unless the rules have changed, “Loss of an engine in flight requires declaring an advisory/emergency and landing at the nearest military base.”...Civilian if the only option, (Paraphase).
