Thankfully, the pilots were able to work through that one and get the plane in the ground mostly in tact (aside from the bits that had blown off the engine and wing when the turbine disc exploded,) but I seem to recall hearing the pilots talk about how many superfluous system messages they had to wade through in order to get to the important information of "an engine blew up, another is uncontrollable, and there's a hole in the wing."
