Any on 747’s?

No.

Catastrophic airliner mechanical failure modes are, obviously, rare, or planes would be falling out of the sky left and right.

Only one engine has fallen off a DC-10 in flight, for example.

TWA 800.

I would like some links for such explosions on 737s, if possible. And maybe there is a compare and contrast article between them and the 747 explosion.
And maybe this is a heads up for more problems in the air.
