That sound you just heard was Southwest breathing a sigh of relief.

I’m betting suicide

Damn that horrible. Like falling into a wood chipper.

Parts of him were found from the ground up, through the engine.
He will be mist.

I heard about a suicide like this the other day. The guy stripped naked, climbed a fence at an airport, ran wild, found some grease, smeared it all over himself, then proceeded to purposefully get sucked into an engine.
That's probably old news, but someone on a podcast I listen to mentioned it.

Vaxxed?

Why would a handler be anywhere near a running engine?

No. This was in Montgomery. Only EBR uses the gang excuse.

Here's the story of the suicide by plane engine. It was from 1990:

American Killed When He Jumps Into Jet’s Engine
quote:
PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad —
An American tourist was killed after throwing himself into the engine of a taxiing jetliner at Piarco International Airport, police said.
Airports Authority chief Winston Suite said the bizarre death Sunday night was an apparent suicide.
Police said Daniel John O'Brien, 31, of Roselle, Ill., scaled an airport wall in the nude, attacked four security guards and stole their four-wheel-drive vehicle.
He drove the jeep onto the tarmac to a British Airways 747 that was readying for takeoff, smashing the vehicle’s top. Guards said O'Brien scrambled out of the wreckage, smeared grease on his bleeding shoulder, then ran back to the jetliner and threw himself into the engine.

Very difficult story to believe.
I can’t imagine any commercial aircraft engines, currently in regular use, being strong enough to suck up a human
