A gas turbine engine has a bearing housing mounted to structure linked to the engine mounting pads. The bearing housing has bearing housing flanges with bearing housing flange openings aligned with attachment flange openings of the structure. Some of the bearing housing flange openings are slots. A first group of fasteners extends through one of the attachment flange openings and through one of the bearing housing flange openings. A second group of fasteners extends through one of the attachment flange openings and through one of the slots. The first group of fasteners are sacrificial fasteners configured to fracture in response to a load on the bearing housing exceeding a fracture load. The bearing housing is displaceable relative to the structure after fracture of the sacrificial fasteners via the second group of the fasteners moving within and relative to respective ones of the slots.
