My first post, and perhaps my last when you gentlemen get thru with me.

Time Line

May I suggest that all the discussion about temperatures, pressures, speeds, vibrations, etc become totally irrelevant within mili-seconds of the disk rupture. It really only takes less than 'mili-seconds' (consider rotor speed/RPM) for the section of disk to excit the case of the engine, allowing pressures, temps, and vibes to depart the scene---and rotor speeds accellerate/decel depending on the rotor involved. No idea how the 'un-loaded' IPC rotor speed would react from ram air.
