This is not about the cats, I think you are referring to Flight 328.
What is really strange (and nearly not reported) is that the same happened shortly before to a flight from Maastricht to NY in the Netherlands – also an engine exploded.
One (or 2) persons were slightly injured on the ground. It was a cargo plane.
