Once heard of an industrial generation type gas turbine which lost a turbine disc...somewhere in the world - this is going back decades now. (I was in the business)

So I was told it exited out horizontally from the engine/casing, out though the canopy/noise protection. continued through the site and through the site fence, crossed a road, in though the front brick wall of a house, 'climbed' the back wall internally, through the ceiling and first floor, up through that ceiling into the loft continued out though the rafters/tiles back into the air - now going mostly vertically and finally ran out of energy a bit later.
