On take off run, the left hand compressor hub exploded (fatigue failure) , parts of it penetrating the cabin, killing two and seriously injuring two others. One piece was found 2,400 yards away in an athletic stadium.

Interesting, but I must admit I gave up at page 66 of 137. The image of the damaged engine was quite scary.
