QF engine failures - facts?

Does anyone have reliable statistics (facts) about the number of engine failures and other major failures (such as holes in fuselage and uncontrolled stuka dives) that Qantas has suffered in the past 10 years, and by comparison the ten years previous to that ie over past 10 years and past 10-20years?
I'm not a pilot but a regular traveller and would consider that the frequency of failures has increased dramatically in the past ten years.
I have not travelled with QF for the past 5 years due to my belief that they are fundamentally dangerous.
The two incidents this week only reinforce my perception.
Anyone with the facts to confirm / deny my perception?
