It does matter when the engine experiences a fan disk disintegration, as the high speed fragments will penetrate the fuselage in a perpendicular orientation.

Yabbut. At cruising speed, air is moving over the wing at over 800FPS (heck, I have a 255gr .45ACP bowling pin load that's slower than that!). This leads to an argument to sit exactly perpendicular to the fan blades because the lower mass, high velocity parts will be affected by the wind to a greater degree and swept back more quickly, and the higher mass, lower velocity parts will have more travel time to the fuselage causing them to be swept back as well.

I'm not suprised that the window that suffered the impact was so far behind the engine.
