Totally agree that uncontained engine failures are definately not a "non event". Anyone who saw the damage caused by the American Airlines 767 that let go of it's HPT, or the N1 failure of BAW in Sydney a few years back would agree (both uncontained).

As with OJK recently, luck has played an incredible part again in this incident.
