The GE90 that is on the newer 777's is a much better engine. The 777's with the Pratts are older and used on shorter routes and have more dense seating configuration for flights to Hawaii. It does sound like the entire crew did a good/great job! The flight deck gets real busy when that happens, the aviate, navigate, and communicate, really challenges your ability to manage the whole system. I have been there, done it, got the T-shirt.
If NTSB does not collect the parts, sell it on etsy or poshmark.

I’m not as impressed with the engine quality as I am the design and fasteners of the pylon! The lack of aerodynamics the kaboomed engine imposed must have increased the loading on that pylon exponentially.
