Turn back after engine failure.
Complete audio not that interesting so i cut out some approach because it was kinda funny.
Boston Center had declared an emergency for Lufthansa after they leveled off for engine failure.
On approach they want to clarify they are not an emergency. But listen for yourself ;)

When you have 3 other engines…  :lol:

A British Airways 747, a few years back, had an engine failure shortly after departing LAX and they decided to see how far they could get on 3 engines. They made it to the UK but diverted to Manchester for fuel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Airways_Flight_268
