Those two pictures are of different airplanes (same color scheme though). Registration numbers are different, plus the backgrounds.

Just noticed, bottomw one is an everrett plane, I assume by background. Top one is definitely the right registration.

What happened to the flight were engine parts were falling off?

It wasn't flying, it was taxi testing on the runway. A test to make sure things will be good for a flight.

Ntsb, ruled it was an isolated incident internal Failure from GE. Everything has been fixed, new engine installed and it will be flying soon.
