I recall an SH-60F mishap, SoCal, early 90's, where the crew had the infamous T700-401 torque spikes and surges. Mission abort, return to Imperial Beach, ended with a very hard landing.
Will try to find a better ref. That sticks in my memory as one of those (and there were quite a few) bizarre T-700 to Seahawk interface problems that plagued our wing for a couple of years.

John D or G-12 might be able to recall something about that. My foggy memory recalls getting the old caution from the Wing about checking (and confirming) which ECL or T-handle you had/have in your hand before pulling, and the old "idle, reconfirm, then off" as the best practice, per your previous post.
Memory may not be serving, however. That one may not have been a "shut down the wrong one" but a "pull one back, split torques" but the wrong one was leading. (Ref your earlier post on what to do with twins not getting along well with others).
However, I may have confused that mishap with another one.
