That's nothing - I know of one guy who went flying with a two foot tear from the leading edge halfway towards the rear of his wing after clobbering a taxiway sign prior to take off. The damage was clearly visible for all to see afterwards and the impact must've yawed the aircraft drastically - still he went flying, put the keys away after landing and said nothing!
As for Chamblis.... he just seemed embarrassed and did that classic yanky thing of pretending it was all "no-sweat". I am sure we can all prove our knowledge of engines by refraining from slagging the guy off for having a bad day tho?
