Some executive guy in first class pressured her into having fun with him. She rebuffed the man and he reported her to HR to get her fired. She didn't complete her regular flight that day as she had to stop off at DFW. When she went to HR, after questioning her and giving her a hard time because she upset a customer, she quit. This was back in the day and the female flight attendants were expected to take abuse. And the rest is history. She was a mess for a while because all of her friends perished.

If I remember from one of my aviation college courses, Aircraft Powerplants, there were just three main bolts holding the engine, two for downward and one for lateral forces. The lateral force bolt failed causing the other two to shear.
