VR-HHE,
Un-contained events are more frequent that the general public would probably like to understand, and have occurred in almost every major engine type at some point throughout their production life cycle.
There is a quote in this Bloomberg article which says that uncontained failures happen around once a year on average. Does that match up with what you found during your research?
