I did wonder if the engine was on fire when I saw all the fire engines outside the plane

Passenger
Jim Mulhall, 47, a safety consultant for the oil and gas industry, who was on the plane said: "When the captain told us they were going to cut an engine everyone went quiet, probably because they were apprehensive.
"He told us it was not a problem and then there was an obvious reduction in noise as the engine went off and again he assured us it wasn't an issue.
"We came down with a bang much more than normal and he stopped the plane quickly.
"I did wonder if the engine was on fire when I saw all the fire engines outside the plane."
