Maybe it didn't travel in a straight line, or maybe as someone else noted, there is more than one blast wall.

Doubtful that this aircraft is saleable as “new”. Does the accident history go on the title? Wow bigtime engines damage. Had ownership already transfered to Etihad?
To: abb
I think this could qualify as a Type 1 Fubar. Likely a Supreme Grand Exalted one. Someone must feel downright silly today.
To: uglybiker
Good News! The pilots seem to have survived.
To: Brofholdonow
I predict the post-crash investigation is going to encounter some suspicious brown stains on the pilot’s chair.

Airbus is a joke.
American aircraft are superior in every respect.
Another nail in coffin of Airbus.
Bye bye socialist crap!

To: Captain Rhino
Prolly so. Most of it will just likely be scrapped. Didn’t look like they had it configured for ferry service yet; seats are missing, interior is incomplete in photo #6.

"
Blast walls are behind engines, not in front."
Not in France....;-)
