That is fast. Amazing the amount of damage even a small object can do at such velocities. Like a forgotten tool getting sucked into an F-16 engine at 110% rpm brrrrrump. Saw a gas turbine generator blow once in Turkey they found part of the impeller in the tail of a Turkish air force F-16 nearly one mile away. It was shaft fatiuge that did it spun up to 80% and popped.
