Lauda Air

Not to nit pick...but the Lauda Air crash wasn't caused by the engine ripping from the wing (I think that's what someone inferred)

It was the plume of turbulent air over the wing (caused by the deployed reverser) that led to the high speed upset and subsequent in-flight breakup.

Just clarifying
