The Southern 242 accident was, like all other accidents, unique. The crew penetrated what they thought was the area with least activity when in fact it was the area of the MOST activity in the line of thunderstorms. The initial penetration smashed the cockpit windows and filled the intakes with hail. When the throttles were moved reportedly the engines were immediately burned out.
Just a minor correction but indeed a lesson learned.
When the throttles were moved the engines began to surge. Without any abatement to the throttles the surging continued until the compressor baldes failed on one engine after the other "we got the other engine going too damn it". It is presumed that continued restart attempts with no compressor led to completely burned out turbines. But the real lesson learned about the engines was to throttle back just out of the engine stalling bucket and cross your fingers that you can keep it in the air that way.
