OK, lets try this again...

A TURBINE DISK FAILURE IS EFFECTIVELY UNCONTAINABLE
Yup, wouldn't expect them to, but that would be factored into that they wouldn't have thought the percentage of this type of failure would need such containment. Front Fan containment, has a higher percentage of failure and also has the ability to be contained.

You can't contain the uncontainable...
