Contained or Uncontained failure?
Splitting hairs, sorry. The article text says this was an uncontained failure. The infobox states it was a contained. I suspect that unless there were multiple engine failures for this event, it cannot be both. Which should it be? Casual internet searching didn't help me arrive at an answer.

Context: I'm interested in this because the flight 328 page calls this a similar >uncontained< failure. If it's uncontained however, it's probably not similar (You generally need different magnitudes of energy to fail uncontained).

Look at the linked article. In the strict technical sense, uncontainment relates to the failure of the engine casing to keep parts from exiting through it by making a new hole in the side of the engine. The engine naturally has a big hole in the front and a smaller hole in the back, and those holes are not expected to contain engine fragments. So if fragments exit via the inlet or outlet, the failure is technically contained, even though parts rain down on the ground.
