Exclamation Qantas Engine Failure during Takeoff at Canberra yesterday

I arrived in Canberra yesterday (around 21:30) to see Fire Trucks surrounding a Qantas 737.

Apparently, it suffered Severe Engine Damage to the Number 2 engine during takeoff, continued, and then returned about 15 minutes later.

It was a Perth-bound service, so was full of juice.

These things are only supposed to happen every six months in the Simulator!

Can anyone please add any facts to this event?

Cheers
