@foxdeux pls read up on what exactly happened

on AF66 the FAN including the fandisk detached from the shaft and departed the aircraft
on QF32 the TURBINE disk FRACTURED

and the engines are very different not just a different supplier. so it can be a fault in engine design but it can't be the same one because a fracturing oil tube (what happened on QF32) would not make the fan depart the aircraft.

btw the QF32 manufacturing fault grounded a significant part of the A380 fleet and was rectified.
did you even read this thread? :/
