June 21, 200719 yr comment_183174 At least the bulk of the metal went downwards I guess. I have seen a movie of a rotary powered wagon that had a flywheel explode. Bits of metal went upwards and fell amongst the spectators at the drag strip. Report

June 22, 200719 yr comment_183236 Oh the memories , i did something similar in my RX2 many years ago at the old eastern creek except it was my clutch pressure plate that exploded , shattered the bell housing snapped half the rear end plate of engine off , cut clean through the exctractors and very luckily only just cut into a fuel line but didn't go through the hose , was a long time till back on the road had to replace everything behind radiator back to tailshaft was quite expensive Report
June 22, 200719 yr comment_183289 Red I know those gas turbine pics well..lol MMM bit of a hot start you could say..lol I have seen a jet powered go kart similar to the one I made lift off the ground doing 100km/h when its single 100mm diameter turbine let go at 80,000RPM so imagine a Boeing 767 engine letting go......
