If you has posted the pic, we would know.
This is not a guessing-game.

P.S. The reason the containment-ring appears intact, is the blade-tips often fly off forwards, hitting the front cowl rather than the ring. The blades are under extreme forwards pressure, especially during the low-airspeed high-rpm climb.

I am presuming the different colour of the broken blades is due to reflections from sunlight, with the Sun being behind the camera position.
