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.
