Uncontained failures

Uncontained failures (compressor or turbine rotor) have directly hurt pax in the Nord 262 and MD-80. A fan blade knocked out a window of a DC-10, and a pax was ejected as the cabin depressurized. But in each case the aircraft returned to earth with no further damage.

The bad writeoffs were the 1989 Sioux City DC-10 (although over 100 survived); and a Convair 580 in 1967 that had a prop control failure, gross prop overspeed, and a lost prop blade cut the fuselage in two.

The VFW614 only had a production run of 10 planes IIRC so the statistics are pretty sparse - not much of a point to prove.

I doubt the Honda will suffer by comparison.
