One wound down to FI whilst in the hover over Sea state 6.
One exploded when a compressor blade went for a walk.
One surged and blew itself out.
One was taken out by a wave while I was burning and turning on deck at night.
One shut down 'cos I hit the fire button instead of the ignitors (adjacent to each other) on shutting the engine down
All of these happened on twin engined helos during a span of about 3000hrs.
I also have 3000 on singles - and not one of those engines as much as hiccupped
