DLH lost at least one that way near Nuremberg.

The enginepylons didnīt like the torque being generated by being turned so rapidly in a right angle to the running engines.
It was not a problem of "pulling Gs" but rather of the engines coming off...
(At least thatīs what I was told. Always think of it during those "quick line-ups" while engines are spooling up rapidly and youīre making a 60 degree turn.)
