Yeah, but RR had that issue with a gas pipe/duct thinning excessively to the really, really hot temps. Quantas had the first failure (if I remember they shut the engine down just in time) but was evident in the rest of the fleet's engines and was responsible for grounding of fleet's until the component had been changed.

The GE engine might be just a one off!
