My thoughts

I'm thinking a compressor surge as a likely candidate for the cause of the inlet failure. It appears most if not all N1 blades appear intact. No sign of breech in the rotational plane of N1 disc. No visible indication of bird strike. What other force could drive the debris to contact the fuselage and winglet?
