Both engines seem to be coming apart, there.

Yeah, probably as a result of significant FOD ingestion, probably of chunks of runway tarmac and tree branches, according to the accident description.

Yeah, I had forgotten he pancaked on the tarmac, or the taxiway, etc.

The nacelle is really stripped from that port engine and coming way off the starboard engine but not to the same degree.

I remember the F-18 guy who pancaked. By the time they saw their sink rate, it was far too late.
