Real, or Rumor?

I hesitate to post this one, as I receive so many emails with legit pix, but bogus stories about them.

"Here’s what happens to an engine when it's flown through a volcanic ash cloud. This is a Cessna Citation Jet (CJ2) out of Germany a few weeks ago. Luckily the other engine kept running, although very sluggishly***"


Following were several pix of an engine with uncontained failure, apparently N1 or N2 blades shed.


Sorry, I don't have a way to post the pix, nor inclination to find a public site to do it.
