A source told The Aviation Herald that no bird strike had occurred, there was no visible damage to fan blades (front of engine) or turbine section (aft outlet section of engine). However, a bleed air tube at the 14th stage compressor had fractured causing damage to the engine and prompting the engine electronic control to automatically shut the engine down.
