The article states that the engine shutdown occurred after water got into an avionics bay, because the main cabin door was left open while taxiing in a rainstorm. Obviously this couldn't happen while airborne and the loss of an engine while taxiing is hardly an emergency.
Kind of reminds me of TACA 110 in Florida...
But my bigger question here... With all the backup and redundancy in these a/c... How can just 1 Circuit Breaker cause an "In Flight Shut Down".... That is a bigger problem to me than water in the Electronics Bay!

You forgot ValuJet 592
Valujet was a Cargo fire. Had nothing to do with the engines shutting down.
TACA 110 was New Orleans not Florida
I stand corrected... had the right station, just wrong state...
No worries.
With a new aircraft like this, they certainly need to carefully watch for problems and get them fixed.
