Except for the DC-10 over New Mexico where a CF6 fan blade was liberated and exited forward, walked up the fuselage, broke a window and the passenger was sucked out with his remains never to be found
The unfortunate passenger was sitting at the sixth window forward of the S3 door (row 17, seat H) when the #3 engine let go, just behind the wing root leading edge, and in line with the plane of rotation. #1 engine damaged by shrapnel also, along with fuselage below the window and wing leading edge between root and engine #3. No damage forward of the plane of rotation.
