What was found

DURING CRUISE AT FL430 WE SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE GRINDING/SEAZING, THIS WAS SHORTLY FILLED BY THE COCKPIT FILLING WITH SMOKE. WE COMPLIED WITH APPROPRAITE MEMORY ITEMS AND CHECKLISTS. SHORTY AFTER THIS THE RIGHT FADEC FAILED ALONG WITH THE RIGHT ENGINE AND A EXTREMELY INTENSE VIBRATION THAT CAUSED OVER HEAD PANELS TO FALL. WE CONTINUED THE EMERGENCY DESCENT AND RAN THE INFLIGHT ENGINE SHUT DOWN QRC, THE SMOKE DIMINISHED AND THE VIBRATION CONTINUED. WE LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. THERE WAS NOT WARNING PRIOR TO THE EVENT, NO ABNORMAL ENGINE INDICATIONS.
