[quote user="bubbajustin"] <A href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCk21G2LR-M">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCk21G2LR-M</A> Here it is. The guy said it blew a turbo… Really? Also, It is a SD40-2 Another instance: <A href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGoQ8XaIeaA&feature=related">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGoQ8XaIeaA&feature=related</A> Info? THX![/quote]    Justin, I am curious too because I was never sure it was properly explained what happened in your first vidoe.  I tend to think it was not a turbocharger explosion.  Turbo disintegration leads to excessive smoke because the engine is suddenly starved for air compared to the amount of fuel being injected.  Isn't that frisbee-looking object a fan flange or ring.  It appears as if the fan lifted off and took the ring and wire grill with it.  But why would the fan launch like that?  Don't all the fans pull air up?  That would mean an unsupported fan blade would move downward.  Would that be the dynamic brake fan that launched?
