That blade sliced all through the fuselage and exited on the other side with much the same energy it entered it.

Next time sitting in line with the props on a Turboprop will be a slightly uneasy feeling...
Even though probability of it passing through the cabin horizontally as in this case aren't exteremly high (~10% for an angle of horizontal +/- 18°) in the already rare case of a blade separation.
You gotta love Murphy...
