Ouch!

 

[tiredcfi]

How does one do that?

 

[esa17]

Holy crap that's some serious damage.

 

[z987k]

Story time.

 

[Autothrust Blue]

Story time.

Hot start - condition lever fuel cutoff, cranking continue, career options re-evaluate.

 

[JustinS]

Dangggg that's trashed. Did the motor seize?

 

[jynxyjoe]

Well... im guessing it actually ate a Garrett, or that after decades of no service it finally broke.

Yes it was running.

 

[JustinS]

Yes it was running.

That's actually kind of impressive that it didn't just stop working with that much damage to the diffuser and the turbine blades.

 

[IslandFly]

What type aircraft did it come off of?

 

[jtrain609]

Yes it was running.

Was it a hot start, or did they find it during an inspection?

Of course it was running, it was a Pratt PT6. They are invincible.
