Engines

Prada

It is most probable that the engine got damaged in the falling phase, still attached and working by ingesting flames from fire.
Left side of the forward fuselage have marks of inflight fire and sooting up to the nose cone.
Agree

Sooting likiely associated with a free fall in flames while still attached to wing and later separated due to spin/spiral side loadings.

I believe the other engine which also shows up in the news videos is quite similar in completeness and ground impact damage.

Nothing of major interest except the suggestion of fire forward of the wing while the engine was still attached.

Incidently, I've never heard of a tail separation causing a fuselage break forward of a wing box but we'll see what turns out in this report as all will be revealed eventually.
