Agreed

Yup..the thing tore itself apart. Maybe the fire lasted a second or a few, the dark stains on the wing structure could be oil mist or carbon soot from a fire. Unless we could get in there and smell it we don't know. But the tear on the drive arm looks like a plain tear. Amazing the thing did not continue to burn, against the odds I would guess.
