Well, the proof is in the pudding.
It looks like the whole compressor stage literally exploded. This is perhaps a common failure mode of these engines (when they eventually do fail), I don’t know, but it for sure must have made a load bang

If it was contained engine failure, then, well, IT happens, so what.
If it was an UNcontained engine failure
Is my understanding correct that in an uncontained engine failure you have debris coming out of the engine, whereas in a contained failure the debris keeps inside? That is what skybrary teaches.

My undersanding as well.
Yes, however turbine bits flying out the exhaust is still considered contained.
They did not penetrate the outer engine casing, just went out the normal exit path.

@Arne, sorry, the video was too long for me, was there an information that the debris were contained inside the engine and exhaust?
Maybe this AD is related to this incident?
