There for the Grace of God go us all!
Years ago on departure had the wind go from 5kts tail to 20kts in the time it took to accelerate from stand still to 110kts. To late to stop and thank God we din't have an engine failure although my heart nearly popped out of my chest. We discussed that one all the way home and decided that there was nothing we could have done to prevent these events from happening, as we had used the best runway at time of departure. It was a definate case of having almost been bitten to death by ducks.
