Pictures here.

Engine Damage Photos Misunderstood As Ash Damage — Civil Aviation Forum | !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A lot of what is seen here is the after effects of leaving an engine run-on for minutes after experiencing an uncontained failure. Probably the pilots were in a high workload regime.

(engines don't often snuff out all the flame but they do run out of air in the combustor, but not fuel, until they are shutdown following a major failure.)
