ILS27LEFT, you cannot make that assumption at this point, that the engine failure was related to being on the ground before the flight. Any number of things can cause a turbine burst including a design defect, a manufacturing defect, or a maintenance error. We'll have to wait and see what light is shed by the investigation.
