There are a few sturdy low compressor stages bolted to the fan rotor, and they may be in fairly good shape - so I'm betting on:

1) primarily high compressor damage; and as a result,

2) high EGT - significantly higher than idle, anyway.
agree in principal

but I heard from day one that as both engines came out of the water there was notable damage to the front vanes on the LPC. I haven't seen any pics of this yet and it may be unique. I'm sure the investigators have already scoured the total fleet wide service history for any similarities
