I would say this "does matter"... :twisted:

...see the Twitter account
https://twitter.com/JacdecNew ,
it has lots of extra footage...
A giant metal engine piece just landed in a Broomfield, Colorado, person’s yard
after the plane flying over experienced an explosion.

The photo appears to show an engine nacelle inlet lip.
Its general dimensions match the PW4000 engine that powers the United Airlines Boeing 777-200.

The plane was later identified as Boeing 777-200 registered N772UA, operating United Airlines flight UA328 from Denver, Colorado, to Honolulu, Hawaii, on Saturday 20 February 2021.

Additional debris from the Boeing 777’s engine scattered across turf field at Commons Park.
