This engine series is only used on the 777 airframe, my remaining long haul flights that are scheduled for the year are all 747-400 flights.

First catastrophic failure of this engine type in use, I'm guessing they're going to throw everything at the investigation. Just glad it happened on the ground and that I'm not booked on anything with that engine on it for the next two months.

Didn't think it was a turbine blade 
Those things rarely go
Most likely the blade that came off stuck the leading edge fuel line and the rest is history

From today's WSJ. 

“Initial examination of the left engine revealed multiple breaches of the engine case in the area around the high pressure compressor,” the agency said.

It recovered part of the engine’s high pressure compressor from the runway, a part that squeezes the air flowing through the engine core before it is mixed with fuel and combusted.

Flight 2276, British Airways’ scheduled service from McCarran to London Gatwick, suffered the engine failure as it accelerated for takeoff on the runway. The roll was quickly aborted by the pilots and the burning jet was evacuated. The NTSB said only minor injuries were suffered by the 157 passengers and 13 crew members during the evacuation.

The GE90 model aboard the British Airways 777-200ER is an older variant of the turbofan engine. Boeing has an exclusivity agreement with GE, which supplies a larger more-powerful GE90 engine for the 777s it builds today. While the 777-200ER is still offered by Boeing, it no longer has any orders for the type.
