I never blowed-up an engine inadvertently. I have torture tested
engines until they blew, intentionally. I'll claim I did it for science
but there was some fun had too. 1 good fire that required a visit from
the Fire dept.
I mean I've seen, rebuilt, dissected, gave last rights and signed the
death certificate plenty of engines all for customers or other people.
I wish digital photography existed 35 years ago, I've seen some real
beauties.
Anyone have any cool Blowed-up engine stories and/or pics? Blown
trannies and rear ends? Any parts severely damaged by neglect, abuse?

So if the car moves forward and reverse, but doesn't shift into highway
gear the trans is toast?
Maybe. If the car's shift pattern is just like it's stuck in
kickdown (high rev shifts, no final shift) then there's a good
chance that the kickdown switch (or wiring system) is just stuck.
