One of the most scary things is a very worn diesel engine running away on
its own engine oil, the most scary thing is a Chieftain L60 with failed
blower shaft seals (quite common) dieseling its copious supply of pressure
fed engine oil. Usually the crew bail out PDQ and keep their heads down as
the engine deck blows off to be quickly followed by various large and fast
pieces of L60, like most of the block, rods and pistons.
