In most photos you can see that at the top of the hole the remaining cowling is bent well outward - suggesting that most of the separated cowling passed over the top of the engine. Almost all of the other tearing seen also suggests this upward motion.

A look at the inside bottom of the hole also shows metal bent up - in that case, toward the engine. This is best seen 0:33 seconds into this video:

This suggest that the bottom of the separated cowling passed directly over the intake. It's hard to imagine (but possible) that none of it was ingested.
