I'm due to fly to Tampa, from Gatwick on January the 11th, 2016, in what I believe is an identical plane, with identical engines (777-200, BA2167)

Do you think this will affect my future flight?

I'm 35 and haven't been on a plane or to an airport, since I was 6, heh, so I'm not entirely sure if I should be too concerned about his news.

I booked this flight the day before this incident, how typical :P
This is the first serious uncontained engine failure this engine type has experienced, and they have been flying thousands of hours per day for 20 years. So the chances of this happening again is lower than you winning the EuroJackpot
