If that is correct and the disc split into 3 segments, then wouldn't one expect them to go off 120 degrees from each other?
Clearly 1 went Up and through the wing, so did one go off to port, but downwards (missing the outboard engine) and the other to starboard again downwards but thankfully missing the fuselage?
