I don't see VOz engines disintergrate on a regular basis. I have no proof but the number of RB211s disintergrating suggests that there is a problem with the maintenance or the oversight of the maintenance. Anecdotal evidence seems to be sufficient to prove the point. Jet engines are supposed to be reliable not explode on the wing. The common link to all these failures seems to be the intials RR.
