Debunked: Claim MH 17 wreckage engine fan is wrong size

The claim is that the seen engine fan is too small to be from MH17 - 777
It would seem they have missed that these fan engines have many stages and that the larger 1st stage fan section not designed for heat or force has been destroyed in the crash.
And what can be seen on this picture? Yes, it's the fan of one of the engines
MH17 had Rolls Royce Trent 892 engines

The smaller fan with the large number of closely spaced blades is from the low pressure turbine at the back of the engine
You can see the multiple stages here:
