Lets try to keep to facts in evidence and our dreams and imaginations out of safety assessments.

The arguments about ETOPS are now long in tooth and while everybody expects a splash someday, the odds are it will be a 4 engine machine if its engine related and not a twin.
Ok, apart from the fact I find the begining and the end of your post hard to reconcile, Its not my imagination its in the report. Debries did impact the other engine, now if thats the standard for a "contained" engine failure I guess so be it, but as you are aware there are very few fatal accidents that were not preceeded by less serious incidents that should have served as warnings.
The question I was asking at the head of the topic was should we be looking closer at these failures. As I understand it all of these recent failures have been due to different causes and that from a statistical and materials point of view gives more cause for concern not less.
