Are you familiar with Apollo 13's pogo oscillation? Money quote:
"The engine shutdown was determined to be caused by severe pogo oscillations measured at a strength of 68 g and a frequency of 16 hertz, flexing the thrust frame by 3 inches (76 mm)."
It was this close to ripping the whole rocket apart, but it managed to withstand some incredible shaking until the engine shut down.

One of my friends in Houston was dealing with pogo in rockets specifically. So yes, I am familiar with pogo in general, and I had heard of it during the Apollo program.
Neat. Apollo 13's is one of my favorite little-known facts, so I thought I would mention it. They came so close to being famous for a completely different (and equally, perhaps more, catastrophic) reason.
