I work for the power company and a few weeks ago one of our MAN medium speed diesel engines went into over speed. They normally run at ~418 RPM but this one ran up to 575 rpm before she shut down and this is what happened! All of the cylinders and pistons got damaged, more than likely the crank shaft is screwed and the generator needs some work done too......looking at a few million $ to fix this booboo!
