As I was reading your post I was thinking, no way would anyone full speed or over-speed test one of these unless it was in a vacuum bunker.

We have a pair of P&W aero-derivative engines in the plant we use for cogeneration.

They get swapped out and sent back to the factory for complete overhaul after 4000 run hours.
This one didn't make it that long.

Yes - that is the engine on Quantas flight 32.
I was only posting it as a follow on to the other photo of the engine with the wheel partially ejected - to show what an uncontained engine failure looks like.
