From the evidence of the fragment of turbine disk in the back of the truck, and the hole in the wing, this has to be classed as an uncontained engine failure of an unacceptable kind. When you have an explosion (as reported by many on the island) and damage like, QF can't just brush it off as an "incident". Time to ground them until the real cause is found, and dealt with, decisively.
