Post does this one count?

Avro York has busted no.3 starter. In an attempt to windmill-start this engine the captain runs up the other three and starts speeding down the runway. The event is a partial success as no.3 engine does start! The aircraft does not however manage to stop in time and overshoots the runway, busting the undercarriage and coming to rest in a field.

Full details were found on Aviation-Safety.net , you might look the event up as I may not have recalled it correctly. Good luck with the site!
