CT Blade Failures - continued

I recall a 208 engine failure at altitude, without vibration - just a silent spool down: P&W reported that CT was found with 6 blades fractured mid span with heavy damage on turbine shroud and vane ring. CT blade distress was initiated by fracture of one blade by creep, that was observable on 17 other blades.

Anyone else had silent spool downs after CT problems?
