Cheers,
There was an invent in Portland, Oregon perhaps 25 years ago - twin engine biz jet (don't recall type) that couldn't get an engine started, so they tried to do a windmill light on the ground during a takeoff roll.
That didn't end well either, although I think the pilots survived (but not the aircraft).
