I don't think that every aircraft should be designed to cope with an uncontained engine failure , If you look at the extra costs invloved in making every part of the aircraft ( mainly the wing ) bullet proof , then airliners are going to have to pay a lot more for aircraft , take the Concorde for example , it flew for decades without major incident , and crashes in Paris in 2000 , due to a freak series of events before leaving CDG , the engine expolsion ( uncontained ) on QF32 last November was also a freak event , and I think you have to give credit to the QF 32 Pilots and Airbus for having systems in place to cope with such incidents ...
