What's up with all these jet engines exploding or disintegrating in flight?

Seems like there's a report of a failure about every month.

Reminds me of a visit I made to the Pratt & Whitney jet engine plant
in West Palm Beach years ago. I was given a tour of the facility
and in one room a group of people were sitting at tables inspecting
turbine blades used in the engines. The Pratt engineer
I was with explained that they were all blind and inspected the turbine
blades for imperfections by feel. He said their sense of "feel" was
greatly enhanced due to their loss of sight.
