It seems strange to me that so many people here seem focused on generating magic bullet theories about how the departed fan blade struck a cabin window well aft of the event when most of the damage to the cowling was due to engine imbalance.

The NTSB experts speculated it would be 12-15 months for their report to be concluded. it seems some patience is required by the amateurs.

In 355 replies there is very little comment about the 'piloting input' and about what was done and what you might have done; except for some total rubbish about RT. I'm glad there was this level of expertise up front. Given the severely reduced command time in some carriers worldwide this could have been a very different outcome.
