This wasn't this engine's first run on the dyno for the day. The 2,920 flashing at the bottom of the frame is the previous result. Being so close to the 3,000-hp goal, it's not too hard to understand the temptation to try again and push things a little harder.

Another photo (below) captures the moment of destruction. You can see the upper portion of the engine rising upward and the fireball below it. Everything came apart in a blink of an eye.

The driver incurred some burns on his arm, but there were no other serious injuries from this catastrophic failure. The real casualty is Injection Diesel Performance's highly tuned engine, but it's possible to build another one. Maybe this time, the powerplant can even achieve the 3,000-hp goal.
