the current probability considered for this type of failure event is 10e-7. The event in itself does not constitute a catastrophic event - the certification requirements require the manufacturer to demonstrate a 1 in 20 case. All in all it has to be shown that an event like this ending in a catastrophe is less than 10e-9.
