Had a PT6a engine blow apart due to: CSU failed, the overspeed occured so quick that the overspeed governor and then the FTG also failed, all within a split second. Apparently the system couldn't handle the force. Engine destroyed and cokpit filled with smoke thru the bleed system. No control problems.
