Cathay A333 at Hong Kong on Apr 13th 2010, engine failure
Naja, ein engine failure kann auch sein, das man keine Leistung mehr wegnehmen kann. 
A Cathay Pacific Airbus A330-300, registration B-HLL performing flight CX-780 from Surabaya (Indonesia) to Hong Kong (China) with 309 passengers and 14 crew, was on approach to Hong Kong, when the crew reported a left hand engine (Trent 772) failure and declared emergency. During roll out on the northern runway 07L brakes overheated resulting in a small fire and 6 main gear tyres deflating. The occupants of the airplane evacuated after standstill. 7 people received injuries in the evacuation.
The airline reported, that 5 people were taken to a hospital.
The runway was closed for about 2.5 hours.
Hong Kong's Civil Aviation Authority said, that one engine had been shut down countering rumours in Hong Kong, that the airplane may have lost both engines on short final.
Cathay Pacific reported, that the airplane touched down on one engine (in response to media reports in Hong Kong, that the second engine had failed on short final 10 minutes after the first was shut down).
Aviation sources in Hong Kong say, that both engines got stuck at a setting of about 70% N1 delivering high power. The crew shut the left hand engine down to reduce excess thrust and performed an emergency landing with the other engine still operating at 70% N1. Touch down speed is reported at around 200 KIAS causing the brakes to overheat.
