Seems to me the disaster did happen. It was just a matter of luck that what ever parts failed did so durring the ground check as oppsed to on take off or durring flight.
Ken, you really should go into politics.

At US Airways several years back we had the samething but the engine had an uncontained failure and the plane was written off, it was a 767-200ER with a CF-6 on it.
700-
FYI, the AA 767 DID in fact have an UNCONTAINED engine failure. It looks like the T-wheel exited the aft part of the engine causing wing fuel tank punctures/fires and other sructural damage. Based on other pictures I've seen, this plane is probably a write-off!
What a mess. Are those fuel tanks in the background?
They are water tanks for the hangar sprinklers. Water and beef blood.
Thanks for the answer. Here at AFW the Fuel farm is right next to the runup area and blast fences.
