Narrative:
On takeoff, a loud thump was heard from outside the aircraft. Cockpit crew reported a smell of smoke, and then none. The aircraft vibrated a lot in the mid section during flight. Upon landing, it was discovered that a part of the engine had become dislodged and sucked into the engine causing blade damage. Landing in mia was uneventful.
