Don't think so. As i read the repport on the incident it ripped off sometime right after take-off, don't know if the flaps where already retrackted or not but if they where don't think it even touched the wing. At take-off the nose attitude is up and they are below 250 knots, around 210 i guess so i think it just fell straight down.
One part was found 7.5 miles from the runway i think it was. Not alot of damage, the aircraft probably flew again the next day after replacing the engine or parts of it.
