Magplug:

what about if the engines detached before the full weight of the aircraft structure hit them?

I'm thinking of tail strikes the ground causing rapid nose down pitching, then main gear hits causing high g load which detaches both engines before the fuse hits the ground.

If they came off their pylons with a high fan speed but bounced allong to a stop would the type of blade damage we see be possible?

I'm more inclined to go with mishandling the approach leading to a stall in the landing configuration than fuel starvation.
