CFM56 vs V2500

Something maybe deeper to ponder guys?
Part of the response in post 33 from DaveReidUK stated

"Incidentally, there's an interesting statistic in the AAIB report on the Heathrow incident, namely that IAE-powered Airbuses are more likely to lose the doors from the left engine, whereas for CFM-powered variants it's the right engine. In both cases, the latches are on the inboard side of the relevant engine."


Referring to pics on the net shows that when standing facing the front of the engine the CFM fan rotates CW but the V2500 rotates CCW.
I'm not an engine man, over to the experts.
