Hmmm... there have never problems reported before with the engines. This is highly unusual even on a super jumbo jet like the Airbus A380.

I know. Below is what Wikipedia says about this: On 4 November 2010, Qantas Flight 32, registration VH-OQA (MSN0014), suffered a significant engine failure[211] en route from Singapore to Sydney and was forced to return to Singapore Changi Airport to land. There were no injuries to passengers or crew.[212][213] Parts of the engine nacelle fell onto the Indonesian island of Batam.[214] Later that day, Qantas announced that their entire A380 fleet would be grounded until the conclusion of an internal investigation taken in conjunction with the engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce plc.

“Hmmm... there have never problems reported before with the engines.”

Well, we should keep in mind that there are as yet actually only a small number of A380 in service. So, this plane should be thought of as still in beta test. Personally, I have no desire to fly on this plane for a few years. If one of these planes, god forbid, should ever go down it’s going to make one heck of a mess.
