According to the NTSB, the engine showed "evidence of soft body impact damage," but failed to supply visual evidence of "organic material" (read: birds) following its unscheduled powerwashing in the Hudson River on Jan. 15. The left engine, previously attached to the US Airways Airbus A320, was dented on both the spinner and intake lip. Plus, five booster inlet vanes were damaged and eight outlet guide vanes were missing. Both engines will now be shipped to Cincinnati where investigators will oversee a complete teardown and use "advanced technology" to detect the existence of the aforementioned organic material.
