This looks like the healthy tailpipe of an old B737-200 Pratt & Whitney JT3(?). The turbine appears intact with the mixer undamaged, reversers not left deployed as they invariably are in an emergency stop. Obviously the front fan is the damaged part, but why would they photograph the totally undamaged bit rather than the glam press pictures of jagged metal sticking out of the cowling? Maybe there's not a lot to see there either!
