| Yeah, pilots I know saw puffs of flame coming out of the engine, and said that that's a tell-tale sign of a compressor stall. Which could have been caused by debris from the separating left engine striking the turbine. |

| Debris, or even just smoke from the wing fire. |

| ▲ | bunderbunder 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | It was specifically the distinct, rhythmic puffing. I'm not sure you could expect the same pattern from debris or a wing fire. | | |
| ▲ | mlyle 6 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I think they were saying that smoke/particulates could be sufficient to upset the rear engine-- things short of what we ordinarily call "debris". | |
| ▲ | loeg 6 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | I'm just saying that smoke alone can cause a compressor stall -- it doesn't necessarily require larger debris. | | |
