I’m wondering why a single engine failure on a twin engine jet results in a crash???

A right engine failure in the F/A-18 results in a loss of several systems (nosewheel steering, brakes) requiring an arrested landing. Unfortunately Manamma (Bahrain airport) does not have arresting gear. I think there’s more to this than just a single engine failure though.

It's possible there was FOD damage to the still running engine from a Fan breaking up and making it past 2 containment shrouds...?
