It was reported on his death certificate he did it on purpose.

Suicide, he left a note behind.

It's an note from experience system havent hours.

Ground ed

When one considers that those engines must lift a 240 ton aircraft off of the ground and up 31,000' into the air (like an Airbus-300 series) you know how powerful they are, those fan-blades in the engine mean business!

Powerful machines for sure!

That really sucked.🤔

You can’t leak check them without them running and being up close. I do it all the time. It’s THE beacon. I can tell you don’t work around planes.

It is more dangerous... Much more dangerous

Got that right

It’s called the exhaust.

​@@justing42 It's called thrust in aviation jargon😅

It is not "DISCHARGE". It is called thrust. I am an A & P, I know what I am talking about.

I live right next to Paine Field on the Mukilteo side. Did you hear the boom a few nights ago?

@@enndubful Thanks for comment. No I live in Yakima now. My sister in law lives in Mukilteo. What was the source of noise? When I worked at Boeing, I lived between Everett Mall and Boeing. A nice 5 minute car trip on back roads. Sometimes I had to go to Renton for workshops. That drive was no fun at all.

Ahhh just moved from Washington Friend’s dad worked for Boeing fabrication

@@lspdfrisawesome8972 Thanks for comment. Do you know which plant your friend's dad worked for?

Hmm not sure. I’m stupid so could you clarify what “plant” means in this case? Pretty sure what you mean just want to make sure. Sorry lol.

As a former navy mechanic on the flight deck of U.S.S. carl vinson. The aircraft I was most afraid of was the E2 Hawkeye. those propellers scared me way more than the jets.

@@jamestravenetti7970 I worked on F-4s and C-130s. Always nervous around prop jobs

Same here i worked ay sjc and you have to remember one engine is still on untill power is plugged in

That might be a problem you should afraid of any engine from a Cessna to 747!!

I believe it’s Foreign Object Debris

That's just it means. I have seen the air going into a jet engine and as it enters it turns into fog.@@beannosman3855

​@@beannosman3855he said it, but you have a good spirit

@@jimmyohara2601 LOL! Nice try, but no dice! You're risible!

Overtired, drowsy while wearing hearing protection can cause safety problems.

Because people are stupid and Dont follow SOP I've been a Ramp Agent for 4 years and I've seen people almost get sucked up I even had to give a guy shit for chocking an Airplane while the engine was still Running

@@danielpetrucci8952 I agree with you! I see things on the tarmac and worse, taxiing out or coming in, that astound me! I sometimes wonder how these people are still in one piece!

Yeah, i live in Australia & saw that on the news… nearly made me sick the thought of it 😢

What happened

@@Pap3rPlanesss A worker got ingested into an engine.

Ironically the video was dropped 6 months ago😂😂😂 To be honest, it's the algorithm. People must've been searching for this type of video recently, so KZfaq pushed it up front

There's plenty of most dangerous jobs.

where do the engineers have their training

Its A-6 intruder

Thank you so much for your reminders and warnings❗--google translation

Not to mention while on the flight deck, you have ear muffs on and can barely hear if engines are running and props turning. Same goes with people walking into tail rotor on helicopter. You think that it can't happen... but it does and is really bad.

@@SJR_Media_Group Roger that !

Thank you for your service 🇺🇸

@@brentj.peterson6070 Was my pleasure your welcome sir !

@@kellywilson8440 Thank you for your service. Former Boeing... I loved time spent working with Navy on F/A-18 Super Hornet in St Louis. It was a nice break from giant passenger planes. Always greatest respect for Navy. My dad was a WWII Navy vet who served in the Pacific. I was going into Marines to become a pilot at end of Vietnam. War ended before all paperwork approved. Returning pilots had first pick of slots. I went to college and served in other ways. Flight deck on a carrier is one of most dangerous places on Earth. Planes coming and going in tight time slots. Large crews working in sync with one another. Everyone needs a buddy to watch their six. I spent time on the Flight Line at Boeing Everett. You had to pass training before getting anywhere close to operational aircraft. Laws of Physics in action. Jet Blast and Turbine Intake Airflow have zero respect for your life. Moving aircraft always have the right away. Don't bother trying to outrun a speeding plane, they can go really fast even on the ground.

Agree. Intake incidents do not happen at low RPM situations like pushback. Serious accidents need the engines running at fairly high throttle settings.

It happens. Not long ago a guy was suck into an engine.

I think that was tried-but it cut down on air flow...

@@avstud09 You see them sometimes on model jet engines, which have a rather high risk of FOD being sucked into the engine. There is definitely a performance hit.

Engines no airflow with zero tolerance

But the bird would still get sucked into it, the mesh would act like a multi slicer sadly. Such is the _enormous_ power of those engines.

Putting some sort of mesh in front of the engine would interfere with the flow of air into the engine causing a reduction in engine thrust. This would get even worse if the airplane was flying through meteorological conditions where icing is likely to occur. If the accumulated ice on the mesh becomes severe enough the flow of air could become so restricted that the engine could shut down completely.

Ok, putting mesh onto the front then shoot a 12 LB bowling ball at it, what would happen? It would punch through it, and if that screen were to fail, you would have bird debri go into the engine as well as the screen itself, causing even more damage then just the bird, also, leaves and grass would plug the screen and cause engine surge or engine flame out

It s a globemaster to

@@alainbellemare2168 ahhhh! I see what you did there!!

@@dacvader2 mm

Same here, really didn’t point out anything but the obvious hazards.

And you don’t work around them obviously. The nav lights are on all the time at the airline I work for. The BEACON being on means be alert and approach it with caution, or it is about to push.

@@justing42 Your airline approves approaching the aircraft when Nav lights are on?

@@justing42 Which airline? So I don't inadvertently fly or apply.

Like a model T?😊

It’s part of your job…if you are scared, you need to look for another one

It’s because of drag which will use more fuel…imagine swinging a tennis racket with the strings and then swinging it after with the strings removed.

Usually they don't, but sometimes they have to. The recent accident where a ramp worker was sucked into a jet engine happened when the airplane's Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) wasn't working. Usually the APU provides electrical power for ground operations at the gate until the airplane can be connected to ground power. Without the APU being available they had to keep one engine running for a short period of time after the airplane got to the gate. Despite being warned about the hazard one ramp worker walked in front of the engine while it was still running and she got sucked in.

Or just watch what they are doing

sorry'bout your bad luck sunshine

No! 😉

Grating not granting lol😂

The poor birds would still get sucked into the engine, but be in a _pre-grated_ form 😖

Putting some sort of mesh in front of the engine would interfere with the flow of air into the engine causing a reduction in engine thrust. This would get even worse if the airplane was flying through meteorological conditions where icing is likely to occur. If the accumulated ice on the mesh becomes severe enough the flow of air could become so restricted that the engine could shut down completely.

Because a large bird would punch through it, and then you would have not only the bird debri go into the fan, you would also have the screen go through the fan and cause even more damage downstream in the engine core

Hah! The one with all the sevens!

It’s always triple 7.

Our new woke rainbow warriors aim to please

Not the same. Jet fuel is a highly refined kerosene-type fuel. Kerosene is lightly refined. Kerosene is closer to diesel fuel.

Don't forget the runaway 747 that sucked in a baggage container and ultimately destroyed the engine

@Red Wolf Piping it happens. But fir this person to say baggage handling us dangerous is absolute rubbish used to fuel aircraft, push them back, be on the head set, do maintenance and actually run up and taxi B747 for maintenance. Si I guess I know something about working with aircraft

He walked towards the plane to place a protective cone in front of the engine to ensure proper distance is maintained while servicing the aircraft. These cones are mandated for most wing mounted aircraft for most carriers with the thought being that you hit the cone before the aircraft as cones are much cheaper to replace. This guy failed by decided to approach a running engine while the anti collision/beacon lights were on (which indicates the engines are running or about to start). Hope this helps

@@keenangant982 Yes thanks for that, that makes sense.

​@@ac9110 basically, he was lucky it was only the rubber cone that was ingested, as the ground effect is all around the front lip of the intake while at idle thrust

@@keenangant982 nonsense. I am a mechanic and don’t care about cones. It’s to keep the stupid rampers and lab drivers from running in to them

@@justing42 meaning it's to protect the plane. Notice how they aren't in a hanger. That means it probably doesn't have mtn on board. You know, the guys who complain about us rampers and drivers breaking everything when they have no communication skills whatsoever and decide to tell ops they're swapping the plane a few hours after they found out the plane is bad. Or telling everyone they're actively working on the plane when we see them drive off for another few hours. When the plane is parked at the gate there are around 7-8 vehicles trying to service it within an hour. So us hitting a cone is way better than getting in a pinch and hitting the million dollar aircraft that mtn tries so hard to ignore. You mtn guys love disconnecting everything anyway so please, put them back the way you found it so I don't have to get yelled at for your delusions.
