It seems that any engine failure is highly unlikely to be immediate.

This is where us engineers come in.

I assume that after your next flight we will doubtless be asked to look at your engines, and if they are damaged, we will tell you, and not release to service.

If there is no damage then we will also tell you.

(I am probably guilty of a 'sucking eggs' analogy, but, when you are next flying, keep an eye on your TGT/ITT, FF etc. I would assume there would be an unusual increase if any damage has taken place).
