What a picture of the engine.

Good Lord!
I have over 3 million air miles and am pleased to say the worst thing I encountered was a lightning strike which was no big deal (the pilot even got on and said “we just had a lightning strike but these planes are designed for them”).
Rough weather and bouncing around, of course.
But nothing like that, thank God.
At least they put the plane back down mostly in one piece,
If the passenger dies I believe it will be the first ever for a accident related death on a Southwest flight.
Another picture shows what I believe to be the Front Fan intact, however the whole front nacelle is gone. CFM56, violent compressor stall?, or did something let go and, liberate internally. Either way, this sort of incident is a big deal to the FAA aka containment vs liberation of something internal where it impacts the fuselage....
