Narrative:
Ten minutes after takeoff; I heard an explosion under my feet. I was sitting in a midcabin crew rest seat. Immediately we called the cockpit and they told us that we would land in 5 minutes. I saw red/orange lights coming from the engines. People were very nervous and crying so we checked the cabin.
