From and article in today's Australian it looks as though they are starting to pinpoint the cause of the failure:

"Disc failure almost brought superjumbo down"

"ENGINEERS say an intermediate pressure turbine disc in the No 2 engine of QF32 failed, triggering the explosion that ripped through the engine casing of the A380".
