Upstream compressor failures may lead to downstream burning of turbine blades but rarely progress debris damage to break blades in the turbines

However something letting loose in the low spool of the turbine may indeed cascade all the way to the back stage and then spit most of the debris out the tailpipe.

I haven't seen anything so far in this event as high energy particles escaping but the repair costs alone make it serious.
