General Electric is investigating the cause of an apparent uncontained engine failure which caused extensive damage to an American Airlines Boeing 767-200 at Los Angeles on Friday.
The aircraft (N330AA) was undergoing a ground run-up of the (left) No.1 engine when the problem occurred. The CF6-80A was being tested after the crew bringing the aircraft in from the New York reported abnormal power response from the engine during the flight.

First in a problem you should do a count on parts. We hat it too, sluggish power response and finally a blade was missing. Fortunatly the engine did not blow up on test.
Just as fun, once I asked the main difference between Pratts and GE's.
Answer: whether hear the loud bang when the Canadian cuffs or the Cowboy spreads the hot section over the runway.
Had this in flight, no problem securing the engine, after landing all parts (found)at atemperature you can touch them
