Judging by the loss of the left engine, it would appear the plane would have rolled to the right for a moment due to drag from the remaining engine.
Surprisingly the front engine cowling remains intact while the parts in the rear part of the engine seems to be the parts that are most badly affected.
It could possibly be due to the nature of that specific part of the engine in which I mean the engine cowling, was built to withstand the most damage. This is because in the event of a fan blade disconnecting from the engine's core, it would not penetrate the engine cowling and potentially slam through the fuselage of the aircraft hence causing explosive decompression at high altitudes resulting in the death of all passengers.
