Haha! The pax are lucky the prop didn't separate and punch through the fuselage.

Those planes are designed with blade separation in mind. The blades themselves are quite light weight, and while it doesn't show well in the picture, the fuselage is reinforced in the area likely to be damaged by a separated blade and shedding ice. Some damage is inevitable, but the passengers are protected against the most likely scenarios, this one included.
 
WHY WON'T THEY DIE...

Now they are going to write the hull off and get an insurance pay out that will add money to the bank.
