Big Crappie Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 A friend was in the airforce during Vietnam and witnessed someone get sucked into a f4 phantom engine. Smoke, fire and red spray. Can't imagine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stealth bomber Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 A young lad went head first into a very large wood chipper a couple years ago. That would be a bad way to go but at least it was over quick. Another guy got caught in some kind of hopper at an asphalt plant. He was inside it servicing it, he stood on a hydraulic line and snapped it off. The resulting hydraulic leak made something come down and slowly crush him. That would be worse than the chipper I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XCR1250 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) Airport worker ‘ingested’ into plane engine in Texas died by suicide, medical examiner’s office says 529 Robert Alexander/Archive Photos/Getty Images/File Joe Sutton Mon, June 26, 2023 at 2:36 PM CDT A ground worker who was “ingested” into a plane’s engine at San Antonio International Airport Friday died by suicide, according to the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office. The cause of death is listed as blunt and sharp force injuries. The manner of death is listed as suicide, an office assistant for the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office told CNN in a phone call. Delta Flight 1111 had arrived at San Antonio from Los Angeles Friday and was taxiing to a gate using one engine “when a worker was ingested into that engine at about 10:25 p.m.,” the National Transportation Safety Board said in a statement to CNN on Sunday evening. The safety board is continuing to gather information about what happened, it said. San Antonio International is working with authorities on the investigation, a spokesperson said. “An accident occurred on the ground at San Antonio International Airport (SAT) Friday night that resulted in the fatality of an airline ground crew member,” airport spokesperson Erin Rodriguez said in a statement. “We are deeply saddened by this incident and are working with authorities as they begin their investigation. We will share more information as details become available.” Delta Air Lines said it was “grieving” the loss. “We are heartbroken and grieving the loss of an aviation family member’s life in San Antonio. Our hearts and full support are with their family, friends and loved ones during this difficult time,” a Delta spokesperson told CNN in an email. Unifi Aviation provides aviation services at San Antonio International Airport and employed the worker who died. “Our hearts go out to the family of the deceased, and we remain focused on supporting our employees on the ground and ensuring they are being taken care of during this time,” the company said in a statement to CNN. “From our initial investigation, this incident was unrelated to Unifi’s operational processes, safety procedures and policies. Out of respect for the deceased, we will not be sharing any additional information. While police and other officials continue to investigate this incident, we defer to them on providing further details.” An airport worker who died in an accident at the Montgomery Regional Airport in Alabama last New Year’s Eve also was ingested into the engine of an aircraft, the NTSB said in a January statement. That aircraft, an Embraer 170 operated by regional carrier Envoy Air, was “parked at the gate with the parking brake set when a ground support personnel was ingested,” said the agency. “We are saddened to hear about the tragic loss of a team member of the AA/Piedmont Airlines,” the airport’s executive director, Wade Davis, said at the time. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time.” Edited June 26, 2023 by XCR1250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin_dry Posted June 27, 2023 Author Share Posted June 27, 2023 Several years ago a guy that was local got dragged into a metal shredding machine. Some metal packaging bands got wrapped around his feet and dragged him into the machine. Several of his coworkers tried to grab him and hold him back, but the machine just ripped him out of their hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 If I was gonna do that, I'd find a 777-300er and remove any shred of doubt. Could walk into that thing standing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
