Uncontained engine failure at YSSY
Shivers down spine... Can't find the story anywhere except Facebook.
China Southern MU736 uncontained engine failure after take off from YSSY at 9.30 EST tonight.
No other details except cowling totally breeched.

Isn't there supposed to be a kevlar blanket around the circumference of the fan to contain loose blades ??
MU is China Eastern
China Eastern, SYDNEY-SHANGHAI, returned immediately https://flightaware.com/live/flight/CES736

Looks identical to this EGYPTAIR incident less than 1 month ago, both powered by T700, both left hand engine
Incident: Egypt A332 at Cairo on May 15th 2017, rejected takeoff due to engine failure

Possibilities are
primary failure of the inlet cowl and ingestion into the engine
Primary failure of a large part of a blade and parts ejected forward (mechanically)
Closeup evidence would certainly have confirmed which one came first. So no use guessing from casual photos

I suspect cowl play.
All over the news on tv this morning. Have to love the news with lines line this : A China Eastern flight from Sydney to Shanghai has been forced to turn around after its flight crew noticed a hole in the plane's engine just moments after taking off.
Strange, doesnt look like there is any damage to the blades...

Flight Radar shows event took place between the airport and Hornsby Heights.
Presumably it didn't occur within airport boundary or we would be seeing pictures of the debris?
If it occurred outside the boundary, is it likely the debris will be discovered and reported by members of the public?

well, they did get a video chat from the engine! What is wrong with the press?!?!? I listened and I heard visual check, not video chat.......
I bet that the inspection and repair requirements of the cowl on that engine has been moved up!
