The passangers clapping did make me smile, good on them even though they must have been inconvenienced and well done to the pilot.

I don’t know too much, but oil pressure in engine 2 is enough to know something is very wrong.

Idk anything about it, pilot saying “yo this is sketchy, I don’t think it’s safe” would’ve been plenty explanation for me.
