CF6-45/50 Uncontained Failures

Good information on other uncontained failures. They can occur more frequently on engines that are nearly 40 years old and for one reason or another, are not well maintained. Now, I don't want you to think that I am making this up or a "sciolist" as you like to put it. So here are the facts, read on:

By the way, the CF6-45 engine was designed for the Boeing 747-100SR (short range), especially for ANA and their short routes inside Japan. Just thought you would like to know.
