Jeez, I read this morning that she didn't make it. Terrible tragedy. I knew this would be the least of her problems, but I was rooting for her survival considering previous incidents (several described here) where passengers and crew survived decompression events.
Thoughts are with her family and friends at this sad time.
CFM are going to have to move fast on this one. Catastrophic engine failure like this could seriously dent people's faith in air travel (also, the CFM-56 engine has quite a history of blade failure leading to extreme engine damage[0]).
