It is extremely uncommon, but jet engine turbine blades sometimes fail, taking out the engine and sometimes punching through the engine cowling. Think of that the next time your on an airliner sitting in the plane of rotation of a jet engine.

I just learned about the same exact things in my materials engineering class. . hehehe. And with the same jet turbine example too!
