Probably the most practiced emergency procedure that we do. Glad it worked out ok.
Well you don't see this every day. Japan Airlines flight 15, a Boeing 777-300ER, had an engine malfunction on departure from LAX on Friday afternoon. It circled around and landed safely back at LAX about 45 minutes later. #JAL15 #JA740J #JL15pic.twitter.com/lMggHOnWKR

Scary. Had it happened over the pacific, could have been a disaster.

Not really. Trans-ocean flight plans are made with this in mind. It’s called ETOPS and it makes sure that wherever you are in your flight plan, there’s an airport within safe distance for you to land at in case of engine malfunction

What does the age of the engines have anything do with it?
