Default Jet turbine reliability

Hazard is to the rear engine and its mounted behind you. I remember seeing that some of these also had a containment housing. So, I think they have addressed the issue. But it makes one heck of a pop if they do shed a blade! This will be about the only time a turbine will vibrate as it winds down..
