Engine-out procedures and eccentric forces on engine pylons

Judging by how much it was moving around you would have thought it was
held on with bungee cords.
Nope! Back in my B-707 days, the engine was attached to the pylon
with just three bolts about the size of your forefinger, and each of
these bolts was designed to break-away and release the engine before
it could do damage to the wing.
