An Interesting Photo

Lots of photos surfacing all over the net mostly of the aircraft from a distance. But here's one of one of the engines.

Not much visible damage for a canada goose, but then again nobody in authority has said that they were large geese have they?

I now understand that the Italian investigating agency has decided that it would be a good time to restart their investigation of the Rome starling ingestion that disabled both similar model engines leading to a forced landing of a Boeing.

So now both accident investigation teams will teardown both accident's engines to determine just what goes wrong in this model engine to leave the fan blades looking so good but resulting in a near total thrust loss nevertheless.
