Photos confirm a lot of people's suspicions, I don't think they stood a chance.

No, the crew truly had no chance what so ever.

The data in the report also explains the grounding of the entire DC-10/MD-11 fleet. It's AA191 all over again, only worse as debris caused one of the other engines to fail as well. I know the general opinion that it is #2 (honestly I think that too) experienced compressor stalls, but until the FDR analysis is published we will not know for certain.

This very well may spell the end of that line of aircraft.
