AirFrance A380 Uncontained Engine Failure
In what looks to be a similar accident to the Qantas A380 into Singapore, Air France enroute across the Atlantic has had an uncontained Engine Failure, although the wing seems to have been spared any impact damage. It is however not a RR Engine in question but a GP7270.

Slightly different failure. In QF32, when the turbine disc failed (which is further back in the engine) it did all the damage to the wing, etc. This is an N1 (Fan) failure, which has taken the containment ring with it. Looks like a failure of the shaft.

Seems like it is going to be ferried back to France on 3 engines.
