That’s an old airplane. I doubt Boeing is involved in the maintenance of this aircraft. That’s on the airline. But I’m more thinking it was a mid-air strike. Maybe a drone. It’s weird for an engine to blow up like that without a foreign object being involved.

It was NOT a catastrophic engine failure. It was an uncontained engine failure. A catastrophic engine failure results in loss of aircraft and life.

I think it was contained, as all fan blades remained inside the cowling

The engine went KABOOM, then KAPUT, and SshhhoooRRRHHHHH. The plane landed and then clapping began. I tell no lies.

No catastrophic is people would die.

No, that isn't what the term means. Your computer hard drive can suffer a catastrophic failure - to my knowledge no one has died because of it.

Hey
@AP - you're usually pretty good about no sensationalism, but this story is poorly written. "As the airplane began to lose altitude..." - not going to happen in a commercial airliner below cruise altitude. You're better than this. -
... an engine exploded ... it literally rained debris onto a neighbourhood.
