Once every 45 years sounds pretty rare to me.
Quick thinking [seat-belted] passengers managed to grab a flight attendant on her way up and out, as I recall.
I read once that a B 17 got hit over Germany which tore the tail section off. Rear gunner was unable to bail out and rode it down. Apparently the wind drag on the empennage plus a relatively soft landing in trees enabled him to walk away and spend the duration in a stalag. Talk about lucky!
I can’t begin to wrap my head around how many flights and miles flown there would be in 45 years. I say it unimaginably rare.
United had a DC10 back in the late 80’s that the cargo door ripped off and tore a big hole in the right side, which several window seats were blown out over the ocean, the flight returned to Honolulu.
