This is a good point. Although I wouldn't expect the average SLF to understand the risks, the engine appears to be windmilling at this point. The initial incident which occurred while under power is over and additional uncontainment will probably be low energy. Also, if I'm far enough forward of the cowling to look/photograph inside the engine, that's probably far enough away to be missed by flying bits.
