I saw that too...looks like somebody doing aerobatics in something not designed to.

I don't think that video is labeled correctly.
It looks more like a compressor blade containment test. Look at the start and you can see a blade clearly marked in high visibility markings, that blade is then broken/released and the test is to make sure it is contained within the engine (rather than fly off and rip the aircraft apart).
I've seen similar tests (TV not in person) when they were demonstrating the new A380 engines.

Pretty spectacular though!

I agree...as hard as I looked, I could not see anything thrown in the intake,

No duck was harmed in the production of this video. As Seafit correctly noted, it's a blade failure test, and this engine passed it  (it did not disintegrate or threw shrapnel)

I think that the plane with the wings that fell off was an aero commander.  I think Bud Anderson flew that exact same kind of plane for years on the airshow circuit, and it turns out that the plane had a design flaw the whole time and he was probably half a G from ripping the wings off.  Some other guy just did it first, and after the investigation Anderson never flew that plane in a demo again.  I heard he was pissed at the company for having him basically be a flying salesman doing aerobatics in a plane with a weak wing.

Edit:  Yea it was Bob Hoover, not Anderson.  My mistake.

I think you are thinking of Bob Hoover.

Whoops, you're right.  It was Hoover.
