There are lots of candidates for a failing engine yeeting itself in any direction.

For the precise trajectory, certainly; for the general direction, not so much. Could you describe a combination of forces that would have thrown that engine to the left of the direction of travel? (We're talking about this accident, not any engine anywhere.)

Foreign object gets yeeted to the right. Internal component gets yeeted to the right. Engine exploded on its right side.

I think each of those is more likely than gyroscopics since the engine went to the left. Not left and up.

Whatever you're describing, it's not this accident. Over and out.

My broad comment is that gyroscopic precession having any critical role in this is incredibly far fetched. That said, I've never flown or worked on a turbofan so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
