Have you ever seen a water pump break causing the fan blade to be forced into the radiator...?

Yeah this happened on a buddies 60's muscle car. No signs of anything being weak either, it just gave out and the fan dug into the radiator destroying it. Just wondering if you seen anything like this before. Thanks!
To avoid confusion, it didn't
Yes, I've seen plastic fans go through a closed bonnet, easily capable of killing someone! The reason is always the same. Either the viscous fan clutch is seized or locked together and the the angular speed of the the fan blade tips is greater than they
