Almost as bad as the Evergreen B742F that dropped an engine into a shopping mall parking lot after takeoff here in Anchorage

I'm pretty sure that's an CFM56 on an A320 family airplane. If the cowling latches aren't secure, you would spot them on your walkaround (if you looked.)

its an airbus ok, but engine is not a CFM, its more like a V2500, note the translating sleeve type of reverser, ecu type and position and the starter and anti ice ducts.
