I'm not familiar with the NZ 767 incident, but the CX incident was a fully contained failure. Uncontained failures are EXTREMELY rare occurances and usually warrant an immediate diversion and grounding of the aircraft.

Was this the same type of incident (and engine) that resulted in the US 762 being written off?

The CX incident seems to have been blown out of proportion more than it was if the failure was contained? The NZ 767 indicent was rather severe with engine, wing and engine mount perforations. Was this the same type of incident (and engine) that resulted in the US 762 being written off? </font>

Yes, the NZ and US incidents were with the same type of engine and aircraft.

The a/c is question was reported as having returned to HKG last week. I doubt if CX does keep a spare in JFK. Perhaps it was a freighter (it would have the small bubble of a 747-100/200).</font>
