Holy crap, I looked at the images...that doesn’t look like a turbine malfunction, it looks like the entire engine blew up and ripped off the plane.

Ugh.

Sudden fan failure spinning at such high speeds will rip the engine right off the pylon out on the wing. That is far preferable than the entire wing structure folding up from the torque if the thing stayed attached.
