CFM56 Engine Cowling failure. Could have been compressor stall, but front fan is intact and no turbine failure present. Cowling parts hit front wing leading edge slats and fuselage. Front engine case housing fractured in front of fan blade section. Engine stall and backfire explosion.
Gremlin? Sorry- just reminds me of the Twilight Zone with William Shatner.
Hmm - looking at this blow-up photo - I’m trying to understand how the cowling and inlet came apart - if the fan is still intact. At first i thought it was a 2-satge fan, but then there would not be a honeycomb case for containment (usually steel with a Kevlar outer shell.
