I'm also curious about what had happened the engine that needed to be replaced.

Is the 6T engine the heaviest non-visible part on a 747?

From the article: "The disabled engine in Johannesburg will make its way back to Sydney at a much slower pace by ship."

Sorry, I meant what happened to the engine that meant it needed to be replaced. It doesn't sound like these engine replacements happen too often so I figured it was in some way noteworthy.
