Maybe it was the cat that was sleeping on the engine. Had that happen, long story.
The fan would normally bend forward toward radiator. A fan is made with a pitch similar to a propeller, which pulls itself forward through the air. The fan being rigidly mount then pulls air in, still moving forward through the air, toward radiator.
