United 757 Engine Fire on Final Approach | Captain Steeeve Reacts

A United Airlines Boeing 757 (Flight 2011) experienced a serious engine issue on short final into Newark—and the crew had to make a critical decision with seconds to spare.

In this episode, Captain Steeeve breaks down what happened as the aircraft approached the runway, including the reported high exhaust gas temperature, the loss of an engine, and the moment ATC offered a go-around. With the airplane already configured to land and very low to the ground, the pilots chose to continue the approach—a decision that likely made all the difference.

Captain Steeeve walks through what pilots are trained to do in this exact situation, why a go-around isn’t always the safest option, and how crews manage engine failures during one of the highest workload phases of flight.
