I had a fan blade break off on a 68 Landcruiser FJ 55 when I was driving about 55 mph. It was a dramatic event. The whole vehicle began shaking. I thought I had thrown a rod. Upon inspection, the blade had cut up thru the radiator and tank, and straight thru the hood, where it had launched to sites unknown. It was flying so fast I did not see it as it exited the hood despite the fact that I was looking directly at it. If my head had been bent over the motor when it happened it would have been a quick and easy end.
