Oh, please! "affect" or "effect" - this really is the height of pedanticity.

Agreed, the FOD found during the investigation was excessive, but the report does not give a verdict on what caused the incident. You appear to be implying/concluding that it was FOD left by mechanics that caused the incident. Are you sure that was the failure mode?
I don't suppose any mineral water bottles or cutlery were found in the footwell?
Has the final report been published yet?
