Okay, that's scary:
Thinks: '95, is that when I was starting on 777?
Checks CV: No, that's when I finished my 5 years on her (PFCS development).
Where does the time go?

Well the issue seems to be more P&W's problem this time. The aircraft seems to have successfully contained a total engine failure and landed as designed.
 
This is almost certainly a United maintenance issue, given the age of the aircraft and how frequently tires are replaced.
 
As I said on another thread, attentional bias is a factor here. These sorts of incidents happen regularly but only get widespread reporting after a major news event. Granted, this one would have been covered anyway, given the whole "tire hit a car" part, but it might have been seen as an isolated incident, not part of a trend.
