Qantas A380 engine failure.

Curious if the pilots and engineers have an opinion as to the cause of the failure. To the untrained eye, it doesn't look like shrapnel from a disintegrating part has pierced the engine housing. What could cause an explosion like that? Why would it happen 5 minutes after take off, as opposed to when the engines were WTFO on take off?
