First post. Don't bash me.
I just saw the pictures last night. I doubt what the esteemed GDN reported about a birdstrike is correct unless we have Canadian geese migrating here. It looked like the whole N2 section removed itself from the engine. Pictures of the jet pipe in the back of the pickup and the N2 turbine, sans blades. Also a pic of fuel leaking out of a puncture hole in the bottom of the wing. It looks like a major failure of the engine, full stop.
And I'm also sorry GDN... But a 40????? year old aircraft?? And the engine was how old?? Got to love the media!!
