From the Jim Hall talk referenced in Reply #14:

"The second accident involved a Canadien Airlines Boeing 767 in Beijing that suffered an uncontained failure of one of its General Electric CF6-80C2 engine high pressure compressor hubs. While the details of this failure are not immediately known, the Safety Board is very interested and is participating in this investigation to see if it is related to other apparently similar failures leading to corrective actions that the Board attempted to initiate in August of 1995."

This appears to be similar to the Philadelphia incident, and is another uncontained failure of the same CF6 engine.

Please see my post @ #23. Your post still doesn't answer my uncertainty about the cause of the Chicago crash. Appreciate the response.

Bugs me that I can't refer you to something definitive.

Gotta run, 0500 comes early.

Regards,
