What is left of the engine should be able to spin without causing much vibration.
However, the passengers felt a lot of vibration for several seconds.
This seems to imply that the fan broke up in sequence... First one blade detached, then the vibration caused all the bolts to fail, and what was left of the fan disk spun off forwards.
