Your arrow (fore), are you noting the sheared Fan Blades as evidence of high N1?

The depression in the stator ring, does that indicate 12:00? Where the engine was lifted into the pylon? The extensive damage below (6:00), that would be water contact??

Brilliant photo, many thanks

After two years at sea, this engine looks as though it was just removed from a mineral oil bath, very clean. What do you make of the integrity of the IP/LP turbine casing, very stout, yes? So much plumbing left, and reasonably continuous.

The crinkled vanes, there's your forward acceleration, yes? A few milliseconds post water contact?
