Air NZ had a similar self destruction of a early manufactured turbine disk in Brisbane, Australia. This occured in flight!
Boeing had for several years quietly did engine strut stiffening without really explaning why.
The reason why became obvious from then on.
These photos show that this plyon has been strengthened, otherwise the enine would be sitting on the ground.
