Flt Lt "Jessie" Owens RAF - died during ejection when the massively over-specced engine on his BAES/RR engineered Tornado F3 blew up and the pilot lost all engine/flying controls for the aircraft. Thank God for Martin-Baker who saved my other mate who ejected well outside normal parameters.
How is a uncontainable engine explosion the fault of BAE?

The weight penalty needed to contain a catastrophic engine explosion would render the aircraft too heavy to fly.

Was the recent uncontainable explosion of a RR Trent on a A380 airbus's fault?
