When I posted this I had only seen the passenger video, which, to me did not show fan blades missing. Since I posted this I have seen the pictures showing 1 blade broken at the root and an adjacent blade missing the outer quarter. I still feel that design peak loads would not have been reached so a failure of the pylon or wing structure leading to a loss of an engine would not have happened in this case.
