Totally uninformed guy here. Just stopped by to say that if my seat was next to the still spinning flaming wreck of an engine, I would move elsewhere out of the plane (not airplane) of rotation. Ya, if debris entered the cabin things would get a lot worse for everybody but still airliners have landed with substantial parts of their fuselage missing.

Where I live, we get a few tornado warnings a year where the sirens all go off.
Back when I would be working in offices, that was the signal not to duck and cover, but to all rush to the windows to try and glimpse impending doom.

That’s crazy, says the guy who, the last time we had a hailstorm with egg sized hail, ran outside to try to gather some up.

The local news here is breathlessly covering the engine “explosion” with multiple remote camera crews interviewing residents who were “rained down on” by debris “crashing” into their homes barely missing the family as dad is making pbj sandwiches for the “little children”.
Nothing like hyperbolic local news coverage.

I indirectly know an individual who works aircraft maintenance at an airport in the NW United States and anecdotal evidence indicates that maintenance is very much a corona casualty.

Airline maintenance being bid out to the lowest cost provider and counterfeit parts has been a huge problem for some time now.

The real hero here is the person filming the engine fire. Look how steady and well composed that footage is; and in Landscape Format too!
