That's the combustion chamber of the turbo shaft. It is supposed to be on fire. You just don't usually see it but the case and fairing fell off.

I can't quite decide if that would mean it contained an apostrophe or was built by an opossum.

Perhaps something to do with a posse...or possession.

Or maybe it means the guy who built it was all thumbs.

Culture?  Isn't that something they do when they suspect a strep infection?  Also, when they suspect what we used to call "the clap".
