Just looking at the CNN video of the engine that fell into the gas station parking lot...
The front of the nacelle appears to be facing the camera, the exhaust tailcone appears to be facing away from the camera. Some of the leading edge of the nacelle is visible but much of it is missing, suggesting a lot of damage to the front of the fan case. I also cannot see ANY part of the fan, it appears to be completely missing.
It is possible that a fan disk ruptured on this engine?
