If there is a blade gone then this is looking awfully awfully similar to N766SW, same airline and type. That ought to sound alarm bells at NTSB.

Accident: Southwest B737 near Pensacola on Aug 27th 2016, uncontained engine failure

Compare this pic (from N766SW) for instance:

Or look at this one and think impact point slightly up and right (in image coordinates):

Not sure which window went, but that would be my guess from the interior photo.
