As far as this engine failure, it was an uncontained (obviously) failure of the fan section...the compressor section went ka-BLAM!

As for the engine- I have no doubt that a weather balloon could do something like that... but I would surmise that the "fabric" we see drapped is either a protective covering that was hung on the engine, or more likely possibly the kevlar lining that is wrapped around the core to prevent shrapnel from penetrating the fuselage in the event of a failure?

What was wrong with bringing that up? I missread the post I thought he was asking about when an engine went dead and that was the only one i remembered. I did not see he was speaking very current. Why does everything consider it "dissing" the dead? It was a fact. I simply stated I remembered because the guy was from Gulfstream because he also went to TSTC and I was debating going to gulfstream then and that's how that accident was associated with memory in my mind. I didn't diss anyone and frankly people just jumping out and saying that is one of those "issues" with people always jumping to the negative for no reason. People say they are expecting more out of me... well I'm expecting more out of some of you. Stating factual events isn't dissing anyone. I had no intention of such.
