Don't feel too bad.
We took off from DFW one time in one of our trusty Saab 340's. At about 400 feet we got an oil pressure warning for #2 engine. We immediately turned into a downwind leg to come back for a landing, shutting down that engine on the way.
After stopping off the runway there was a widening pool of oil on the ground and oil all over the right wing. Come to find out the mechs had done part of an inspection phase on that engine the night before. There's a plug you can remove so as to be able to rotate the inner spool of the engine (N1). Well they forgot the snap ring that secures the plug. The O-ring was enough to hold it for run-up and taxi, but under full power it popped out and there went the oil. It was a low time engine on top of everything.
We later found out that they fired 3 guys over that deal. Not really fair to them as that particular aircraft was very well know for being jinxed will all manor of unusual and un-timely mechanical calamities and had acquired the name of "Christine".
