I just googled this. DL1288 had a compressor fan blow apart. The whole front of the engine came of this engine is basically intact. When I heard uncontained engine failure I pictured something like 1288.
I think the debris that broke the window was from the cowling not the engine. The casing of the engine should contain any blades that break. None of the pictures show that it failed to do so.
