The National Transportation Safety Board issued two urgent safety recommendations to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) following four recent events in which the aircraft experienced an uncontained engine failure of its GE CF6-45/50 series engine.
To complete your quote, you may want to read this Aviation Week story. It seems that some operators ignored service safety bulletins from GE and GE then requested the NTSB and the FAA to issue these directives. Certain freight operators are the delinquent ones that have not responded.
