I'll be interested to see what dynamics led to an inboard pod strike.

Seems like the outboard would act as a pogo wheel to hold the inner engine off the ground - but I guess wing flex, or gear flex, or extreme damage to the outboard, or a semi-excursion such that the #2 hit an edge light, each could explain it.
