I believe the correct term is a "contained failure" meaning that nothing was thrown out the side of the engine. The shed blade and any other parts either stayed inside or exited through the exhaust nozzle. The pilot(s) absolutely acted correctly and quickly as everyone points out. One nice thing in a full scale aircraft - you feel the yaw.
