When a vane from the tubine comes loose at high rpm's, somebody is going to have a really bad day. I'm actually surprised this hasn't happened more often.

IIRC, it was one of the primary design changes/requirements of the 777 engines; the cowling had to contain/absorb a fragmenting engine at high rpm. Basically, they armored the inboard nacelle wall, so that fragments would be centrifugally directed to the outside (un-armored) wall, where they would punch through and travel away from the fuselage.

Looks like they had a good pilot.

Watched an Eagle burn to the ground after the starboard engine came apart. The pilot had just started rolling down the runway when it happened. He popped the canopy and bailed. The fuel cells went up as he was running (movie directors were jealous). He was criticized for not ejecting.

Couple years later a Wild Weasel erupted in flames just as the wheels cleared. Pilot tried to set it down, aircraft did a 180. He punched and drifted into the wreckage. Lived for two or three days.
