I used to work at the BBC and the transmitters had their own generators. When they knew there was a power cut coming they used to bring the generators up, get them in sync with the mains and then connect them in
The story was that one day they weren't in sync when they dropped in and a piston ripped itself out of the engine, out through the building wall and off down the hillside, probably something similar in size to that

Looks like the con-rod is a little bent, but the cross-head looks OK.
