Contained
Less Hair
As previously mentioned (but removed by Mods) this WAS CONTAINED. An uncontained failure involves bits flying off radially - and at very high speed - that very much do have the capability to seriously wound an aircraft. The worst that was going to happen in this instance (assuming a competent crew) was a relatively low energy fragment penetrating the pressure hull and causing a decompression. No worse than a blown door or window - although still not pleasant of course. However there is / was significant risk to persons on the ground. In this case they were lucky.
I know this is a rumour forum but please, guys & girls, try to stay calm & accurate!
