Best we agree to disagree Wullie ... as we do on another point in forum history.

I’m not disagreeing with you it was a response to your suggesting that engines will detach in the air if there is a problem from one of your posts.
I’ve had a quick google search and

Boeing used fuse pins but stopped after a few incidents caused crashes https://www.washingtonpost.com/archi...-dcbee4da3f2c/

Airbus never used them https://archive.seattletimes.com/arc...9&slug=1679083
