According to the NTSB press conference the blade broke in two places, near the root and further up. They have the section nearest the root, they don't have the outboard section. Doesn't that suggest that the section of blade nearest the root went backwards into the engine? If the speculation about the blade shooting forward and clear of the engine was correct, it seems almost certain they wouldn't have either section.
