Views of the first-stage turbine wheel's blades.

Picture 2 of 5.

At upper right, we see that the riveted retaining ring on the inner edge of the blades has been torn away, showing the shape of the entire blade.

Below the first-stage wheel, we see what remains of the second-stage wheel, with many missing blades and at right, even the outer support ring is gone.
