Quote "No plane is specifically designed to cope with an uncontained engine failure"

Then what is this, from EASA? FAAs are of course similar:

"Practical design precautions should be used to minimise the damage that can be caused by uncontained engine and APU rotor fragments. The most effective methods for minimising the hazards from uncontained rotor fragments include location of critical components outside the fragment impact areas or separation, isolation, redundancy, and shielding of critical aeroplane components and/or systems."
