Thanks much for the pictures.

Definitely more than just blades, but thankfully less than a rotor disk, looks like a rotating seal spacer in the turbine that goes between rotor disks.

There have been several others in both GE and P&W engines and none have seriously disabled an aircraft.

No doubt a corrective action will follow shortly and everything will be back to normal.
