No terrifying to the onlookers, but certainly to those on board.

Either it struck something on the ground or the well trained mechanics in Nigeria forgot to fasten part of the cowling. The engine did not “blow up” the nacelle blew to pieces and part of it struck the vertical. Judging by the turbofan rotating freely, no blood or feathers, no signs of flames, I am putting my money on a failure of proper maintenance and an oversite by the ground crew. OR. Maybe it hit a weather balloon. Hard to guess with the damage to the vertical.

Excuse me, Terrifying is the plane nosing over and crashing. Safely landing is just an interesting story!

“…somehow limping to the ground safely on just one engine.“

Yeah, somehow.

what was the age of the plane? I bet it was 30+ years old.

“Somehow limping to the ground on only one engine,” What a dumb statement, NYP. They can fly on one engine .
