Aeroflot TU-154 uncontained engine failure.
Found this piccy of an Aeroflot TU-154 having suffered an uncontained engine failure that supposedly happened on take off roll. Interesting to see damage to NO.3 housing as well, could easily have taken that out too.

Here's an amateur video of the RTO and some close ups of the damage.

With all the aeration of the nacelle after the failure and ignition, the full fire handle saves the day.
I see the fan hub laying in the inlet with all the blades seem to be missing.
Reminds me of the Anset B727 at BRS only it's the #1 engine on the 154

Is that damge to the flaps, that you can see in This picture? How can engine debris get that far upstream?
