I found the title very misleading and sensationalistic, however typical of many aviation 'journalists' looking for a story on a slow news day...it was a contained engine failure before Vr, return to gate, a non event. This is a well practiced scenario by the guys up front and I actually think less of an event than the AA that lost theirs on climb out...I know where I would rather lose a donk, and that would be on the ground with plenty of runway in front of me...either scenario is not pleasant for anyone but it happens..
