So from what I see in these pics the engine didn't exactly fail, looks more like the cowlings all came apart and killed the engine. Maybe there was engine damage that vibrated the cowlings to the point of failure? But you would think they would detect that. Interesting that there's a blade missing, those things rarely break.
I wonder if that one fan blade going caused it all? Massive amounts of energy in them while they're operating.
