Given this even and the fore mentioned JAL event - it would seem that even the higher loads that were used during the 777 design/cert program were not high enough
Underestimation of the fan blade out loads has been a general trend, apparently. See the 737NG and the Southwest event. Perhaps nobody really wants to carry around that heavy structure to cover a rare event.
