Probably had nothing to do with MCAS. The latest generation of ultra-efficient engines push the boundaries of technology more, and they also seem to fail more often than the turbofans I grew up with. Not unique to Boeing either.

I remember that one because I saw the plane in DTW after they diverted, minus the one motor. Just assumed it was a MX swap at the time.

One fell off a DC-8 once as well. Landed on a farmers property in Coloado if I remember correctly.

Out of balance condition tore the engine out of its mounts!
I think this was in 1999.
