.... there's also this #2 engine uncontained failure wich is a concern. The damage seems to be aft of the armouring shield but there's obviously no apparent link with the disconnected rod wich is located much more forward. A power turbine shedding its blades here, would rather damage the tail rotor shaft.

But the point is that the similarities, with the "Baltic Sea case" are strikingly evident, at least in the first stage of the flight upset.
