Loved that Twilight Zone. One of the best ever.
"Uncontained failures" are scary - it's a 50/50 chance whether the blade goes through the pressurized fuselage or not. I believe there was a case a few years ago where a fan blade came loose and went through the fuselage, skewering (and instantly killing) a passenger.
Call me paranoid, but it's one of the reasons I typically sit forward of the engine nacelles.
