The only thing I can think of is severe engine vibrations from something like a fan blade-out event. I've been told the resultant vibrations have been so bad that the pilots can't see the displays.
That being said, it's unlikely that and engine will keep running after such an event, and shutting it down doesn't get rid of the vibration, it just lessens it somewhat.
