It sounds as if jetflyer has a reasonable scenario for an overtemp start. However, I find it hard to believe that the engine was rendered totally inop because of the overtemp. We used to get shown CT wheels in Kingair gs that had been "hot-started". In each case the engine was running when it was torn down because it wouldn't make rated power. I once flew a Lear that somehow suffered heat damage of uncertain origin. The Lears' TFE731 had burned through the nozzle, but was still making good power when it came off of the pylon. The Lear tipped us off about a problem because it started running more ITT than the other side.
