That can happen for any kind of reason, there is no reason to assume its because of faked spare parts. Airplanes are designed to deal with this if and when it happens, engines can fail safely. Hell, engines these days can mostly explode safely.

Flying is extremely safe because we had so many accidents in the past. Today it's safer to fly than to drive or walk in the car infested cities, especially in the United States.

In the Netherlands, cars are used less and less and those using them drive on very well designed and maintained infrastructure and as such we have very few casualties. In the US, infrastructure is barely maintained, people are barely trained to drive a car, rules are dumb as fuck and as a result, there are a huge punt of casualties from car crashes and accidei, yet I rarely see posts about that.
