In 1992 an El Al cargo 747 lost 2 engines on one side after departing AMS, the resulting damage to the leading edge and inability to extend the flaps on one side caused the aircraft to crash into a block of flats. Apparently the pins on nr 3 broke due to fatigue, the engine surged forward and upward, damaging the leading edge and then took out nr 4
You left out the word "outward" (right hand rule in gyroscopic action)

The same cause/movement occurred to the China B747 freighter as well as the B707 freighters cited in the report earlier in the thread.
