I suspect that IF the LP shaft had NOT moved back But remained free wheeling, the photo would NOT be quite sharp as regards the blades being motionless in the x hundred mph airstream. At the same time, damage to the blades trailing edge may not be apparant in the photo.

It is amazing ( lucky ? ) that the forward engine mount seems to be intact and that no or few punctures of the wing and fuselage seem to be evident ( no fuel leaks claimed by ground inspection ? )
