I do remember the Detroit 6V92 TTA run away - you had the blower open for access after running the rack - it took at least a 5/8" plate steel with a handle welded on it to hurry (and I mean HURRY) in the fastest terms possible) to get the blower covered as soon as your 6th sense told you the engine was in the runaway incubataion stages. If you hesitated for another 5 seconds - you might as well get as far away as you could - was not worried about flying parts - it was literally the screaming of the engine that was ear piercing.

Then be prepared for a payroll deduction.

I remember a guy trying to shove a 5 gallon pale over the blower in the start of a runaway engine - sucked the end of the 5 gallon bucket right clean off.
