Damage caused by cowl loss

While this may have nothing to do with this incident, there was an incident on another aircraft type a few years ago where the aircraft took off without the engine cowlings being latched. In this case the cowls did not detach but they did manage to puncture the main fuel inlet pipe to the high pressure fuel pump - causing a massive fuel leak which, thankfully, did not catch fire.
