Unhappy Glow Plug 7.3 PS

Anyone else ever have a glow plug come out and polk a hole in valve cover?

Nice people at Ford garage in Alabama had me back on the road in reasonable time.
Mechanic there said he worked on a lot of PS and this was the first time he had seen this happen. He figures someone had replaced it and didn't tighten properly.
Well anyway I have around 5000 miles since it happened and so far so good.

1997 7.3 PS only 80,000 ml.

I guess do do happens

First time I've ever heard of a glow plug coming out on anything on it's own. It has to be what the tech said, someone forgot to tighten it down.
