The picture of the engine certainly don't look like it had flamed out.
That is absolutely a fair question.
I am posting a screen grab of the face of one of the engines from the video taken at the site, for the purposes of discussion.
The engine clearly shows signs of rotation but the question is, what approximate power setting?
What appear to be the fan blades seem to have taken a lot of abuse, but what appears to be the core engine behind doesn't look as mangled as I would expect from a high power setting.
Maybe somewhere around idle but I don't have much experience in this area.
Any qualified volunteers?
