I've seen plenty of capacitors fail shorted, but never an
electrolytic, I guess I've been lucky there.
I've seen exactly 2 aluminium electrolytics failed short circuit so
far in maybe 20 years of repairs, both
were inside HP instruments: one into a HP-3456A ad one was in a HP-5328A
They were enough dead short to pop fuses and blow one pass transistor
in the case of the 5328A.
Just for the record anyway
