There would have been no chance that the pilot could have spotted it.
I doubt major engine damage as you could not hear or feel the incident on the plane - makes me think the engine might have been off already (as I mentioned, we were only a second away from stopping on the mark when it happened).

Thanks for the first hand report.
So yeah, hopefully just a cowling and news being news trying to make more story than there is.
