True, but they had an engine fire. You never know what a fire might
have damaged, so I'd never continue on after one. If the engine just
quits, that's different, as there aren't necessarily any superheated
flames damaging other structures. But flames could have melted a
chunk of the wing and you wouldn't know until the wing failed way out
over the Atlantic.
