An interesting TV programme in the UK earlier this year concentrated on testing the 'containment' ability of the Trent 900 engine in the event of a major malfunction.......it seemed pretty convincing......at the time??
I saw it, too. As others have already said, it was "only" a blade off so much "easier" to contain, but to me it was still a mighty impressive demonstration of engineering none the less and the sheer energy involved.


FFWD to the four minute mark.
