A380 Engine

True, the incident was 'spectacular' by comparison, but that's where the comparison ends. It was an engine failure, the cause identified and fixed by the engine manufacturer.
It is quite a different thing to have an airframe experience a seeming myriad of disparate systems issues requiring diversion. I won't speculate, but in my mind, as a potential pax, I start thinking overall QC. For damn sure Boeing can't be happy.
