    I believe I heard somewhere this was started by a bird strike.

    And not to defend Boeing, but they don’t make the engines. The engine is a CFM56 made by CFM International. The same engines are used on some Airbus a320s, Airbus a340s, and McDonald Douglas DC-8’s

      This was part of the nacelle I think, so it would be a Boeing made or procured part. There’s just pretty much zero chance it’s their fault.
