Not quite as I remember it, but...
"11/3/1973 National Airlines
DC10-10 Albuquerque, New Mexico Overspeeding of the starboard engine caused the engine to disintegrate. Pieces struck the fuselage, breaking a window, causing rapid explosive decompression and a passenger was sucked out of the plane. The plane landed safely. Out of boredom, the captain and flight engineer decided to experiment and see what would happen to the autothrottle system if the circuit breakers which supplied power to the instruments which measured the rotational speed of each engine's low pressure compressor were tripped. This led to engine overspeeding and destruction of the engine. "
Is anyone out there advocating the pulling of tacho indicator circuit breakers to get
out of trouble?
Cheers.
