Lyman,

The innermost shaft is the LP, the outermost is the HP and IP shaft is between the HP & LP. The bearing supporting the HP rotors are separate (independent) from the IP rotors.

The IP disc accelerated to burst while still over at least part of the two rear roller bearings.

I don't see how you can read the ATSB Report two ways...
