Narrative:
After takeoff passing approximately 1800 MSL; the number 1 engine's N1 and egt displayed limit exceedance and turned red on the eicass display. After retarding the left throttle; the engine was shut down due to vibrations felt by the flight crew. The captain informed ATC and we were given vectors back to the airport. I flew the aircraft while the captain and international relief officer ran checklists. The pattern was hand flown in VMC at approximately 2500 MSL. Aircraft control was given to the captain on final when cleared for a heavy weight landing. The aircraft was met by the crash crew on the hold short pad. The landing was very smooth with a shallow touchdown full spoilers and a good reverser on the number 2 engine. The number 2 tire heated to 800 C according to the fire chief and deflated. After about 1 1/2 hours the wheel was changed and the aircraft was towed back to the gate to deplane the passengers. The captain was in touch with the fas and the passengers throughout the event.
