I recall one incident where a jet engine broke apart in flight. A large fragment struck and destroyed a window, and the unlucky pax sitting next to the window was "sucked out" in the resulting decompression. For some reason I think it may have been TWA (not sure).</font>
It was a National Airlines DC-10 over New Mexico in 1973.
