Gyroscopic precession took the left engine to the right. In AA 191 the right engine departing to the right did not affect the center engine. Sadly the engine failure procedure at the time mandated slowing down to V2 which was below the stall speed with slats retracted. There's now revised procedure and hydraulic fuses.

I expect all remaining aircraft will be getting new rear pylon lugs with shortened inspection intervals - provided the replacement cost is below the value of continued usage.
