Maybe someone got confused and replaced a turbine blade with a turban? Look for the guy with a sheet of metal wrapped around his head.

LOL! Some poor mechanic is getting his butt chewed by his boss as we speak-- "I said replace the turbine, not the turban!"

There are lots of postings this morning suggesting turbine failure, but I thought the engine housing was supposed to contain this. Of course a fully loaded twin engine that had a total engine failure on takeoff might very well stall and crash, but there should not be an explosion and wing separation.
