Definitely was a hole in the wing as the catastrphic engine failure allowed some blades to go right through the wing.
Looks to me like a turbine blade failure as opposed to compressor blade---the engine came apart well aft, after the hot section (where the fire is). For those that don't know, the fire turns the turbine blades which turn the compressor blades which compress air into the engine.
P.S. This thread is really hard to read with that huge picture. Could you maybe make it a little smaller?
