Default Looking for pictures of motorglider failures

HERE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Puia_yQxir8&feature=youtu.be is
an example of a jet sustainer failure to start.Â* Good glide path
control, but I thought he may have waited a bit longer than required
before dumping his ballast.

Interesting, I've heard of numerous failures to start and failure to climb,
but not uncontained blade failures or engine departing AC...
