Default RE: 3W106 at wide open throttle stopped instantly

Sounds like either the engine seized (does it still turn freely?) or one blade failed, and the resulting imbalance caused shaft bending and rapid stop. But to me it sounds like it seized, the abrupt stop destroying the prop and bending the shaft....
