That engine was thrashed; not just some bent compressor blades, but the entire first few stages lying in the bottom of the nacelle in cookie-sized shreds.
Luckily the debris were contained.

To deviate a little from the title, the Canberra was only a handful if an engine failed below V2 with take off power or high power set. If memory serves above 135kts the rudder was capable of looking after the yaw.

To finish this O/T thread within a thread, this particular Canberra had its unfortunate encounter during a low-level bombing practice run off the Dutch Frisian islands. I didn't speak to the pilot, just saw the mess.
