The press will make a big deal out of this because of the spectacle of parts falling on people’s lawns... but other than that this looks like a fairly routine engine out situation. Nice job by the crew.
Lucky it didn’t happen half way. Could have been several hours on one engine and the other one shaking and on fire.
Luckily flight plans are always required to be within a certain number of minutes of a place to land, and are certified to operate on one engine for that period. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETOPS
I really appreciate focused news sites like avherald. Just the facts, a collection of photos and videos, straightforward. The video of the landing & the passengers cheering—- that huge sigh of relief. Brings a smile to my face.

Seriously, though: software "engineering" could actually earn the name, if we had rigorous professional standards, regulatory oversight, and product liability.
