^^^ Yeah, that's one of the 1st things that came to mind  ! I was on a flight out of Philly maybe 30 years ago that lost an engine on ascent, it shook the plane. Girlfriend put a pretty good grip on my hand. Pilot looped around fairly quickly and set it down, and the girlfriend & I spent the night in the airport. This pilot looks like he kept climbing, but I suppose there are a couple reasons for that, like traffic.

My old boss, who is a private pilot always said "they have never left one up there"!  Take offs are optional. Landings are inevitable. 
If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

Yes, it's pretty clear this was an uncontained engine failure.

I'm going to go ahead & armchair quarterback this: there was a mechanical failure that was unforeseen.
And BTW, I'd rather fly a Boeing than an AirBus. AirBus is a very finicky plane to fly, & they are built to be cheaper than Boeings.

Bad as the engine looks, the wing looks not too good.
I realize this is a triple 7, but what about the 737 Max with the engines cantilevered forward of the wing too?
European Airbus is looking better every day. What are you talking about? The fact the the engine is mounted forward of the leading edge of the wing? Every modern aircraft with wing-mounted engines is that way--including Airbus. Only way to get the weight and balance correct, plus a lot of other reasons. I'll be interested in what the investigation reveals--but that will take some time. But I guess all the amateur internet aerospace engineers will have it figured out by the end of the day....

Wing may look funny because the leading edge slats are deployed. With one engine, air speed would be limited, so pilot deployed forward slats and probably the trailing edge flaps to get some additional lift at low speed.

There are like 50? windows per side, why would one want to be inline with the turbine?
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
