This happens occasionally on aircraft carriers, buddy of mine was a chief dental officer said they would bring in just a helmet with some glop for ID.


This dude got sucked into the intake of an A6 and survived

Aside from turning props, the intake of a A7 Corsair always tended to make me take a few extra steps away from it.

It's amazing how powerful these machines are. That's both exhaust AND intake. So sad.

Dude was definitely dead on impact.

Getting sucked into the engine just made the day worse for everyone else.

Most people have no idea of the power of how much air is moved. The first time I stood behind a propeller driven plane was shocking. Jet engines are a completely different magnitute.

... I was just watching the evacuation video. The announcer was commenting on how the passengers were "scrambling " to evacuate. --- scrambling??? I don't think so.

Everyone of those passengers were scrambling to get their baggage out of the overhead luggage and evacuating with backpacks and luggage down the escape slide

That is not emergency escape

Sounds like suicide, maybe? Jumped the fence.

Pedestrian my arse. A pedestrian is in the crosswalk of a street.

A piece of shite running across a runway while a plane is taking off is a suicidal bat shite crazy wannabe mass murderer.

No he did not. I’m not sure what the mortality rate is after being sucked into a jet engine but I imagine it’s pretty low.

Denver Gordon contacting the family to sue Frontier. Airline obviously at fault here.
