My initial guess was that this one did CHS->DAL and dumped into MEM but that looks like a coincidental divert.

 

[Baronman]

That looks like it... Can't see it but looks like the fuselage took a good chunk too.

Pretty bizarre how the inlet lip is gone but the shroud is still there.

Not to be that guy, but come on. God this god that...blah blah. Apparently he cared about those people but not the 300 in Italy? Sorry standard religious/political rant mid thread over.

Having said that jeez that won't buff out. Did they leave the landing light on?

I think that's a she. Could be wrong though.

I'd like to make it a point that the front doesn't usually fall off.
