Certainly the picture of the No.1 engine with very little if at all damage to the fan section would suggest this engine was in a failed state on impact
I might normally agree with your statement, but not necessarily here

Damage to the Fan section as an indicator of power also relies on knowing how quickly that Fan was brought to a "halt". Those engines look pretty intact in terms of distortion to the Fan Case... if the Fan is free to rotate to any degree during the impact sequence i.e. not brought to an instant stop, bang goes the theory
