Yes, I saw that story too. Did an emergency diversion, they sent a 747 to pick up the passengers. Somewhere in Asia IIRC.

I wonder who made the engines?

They're either:

1. General Electric GE90
2. Pratt & Whitney PW4000
3. Rolls Royce Trent 800

Failure of a "stub pipe" deep within the hot section of a Rolls Royce Trent 900 nearly caused the crash of an Airbus A380 on 4 November 2010. The engine underwent an uncontained failure of a second-stage (IPT) turbine disk.
