The article states
Many engines seized because the shaft driving the auxiliaries from the engine snapped and whipped round, rupturing coolant hoses
1. Rotating shafts dont usually "whip round" when broken. 2. If the auxillary power was cut - you'd know - you wouldn't (be able) to keep the engine the engine running until it seazed. 3. ?
