dont read if your stomaches weak,

Or even look at the pictures

It does kind of read like suicide by jet engine It's not like you could miss it going or anything.

Did you see the comment about having a hard time drawing a chalk outline

And how's this for an understatement?

fatally injured

I don't think you could be any more fatally injured than this!

[lozz]

Yup true,
some pretty sad Remarks there on that Thread,

its bit weird how hes got sucked in there, Must of been Brave Getting close, or someones fired up the Engine, caught him off guard perhaps.

[Busman]

Imagine the poor sod who gets to clear it up. And what a way to go, fataly injured? I'd say!!

Started off as a oil leak,

The flight crew of the Boeing 737-524 discovered a puddle of fluid on the tarmac under the number 2 (right) engine during the prefight inspection of a scheduled passenger airline flight. Airline station personnel had received authorization to call contract maintenance to investigate the oil leak from one of the airline's senior maintenance controllers. As a result, three mechanics from a fixed base operator (FBO) at the airport were called by the airline station personnel. The FBO had previously entered into an agreement with the airline to provide contract maintenance at the airport.

All of the airline's maintenance manuals were maintained at the airline's headquarters maintenance control base. According to the airline's procedures, extracts of those manuals with specific procedures were required to be transmitted prior to the contractor performing maintenance, and only after authorization by the airline's maintenance control.

After becoming concerned about the delay in hearing back regarding the investigation into the engine leak, a senior maintenance controller for the airline attempted to contact airline station personnel, and the FBO, several times to determine what instructions and authorizations would be needed. The investigation revealed that the FBO did not make contact with the airline to obtain the requested maintenance approval and required documentation to work on the engine.

Meanwhile, both sides of the engine fan cowl panels were opened by the mechanics to conduct the engine inspection and check for leaks. The mechanics made a request to the captain (via ground-to-cockpit intercom system) for an engine run to check for the leak source. One mechanic positioned himself on the inboard side of the right engine and the other mechanic on the outboard side of the engine. The third mechanic was positioned clear of the engine because he was assigned to observe the procedure as part of his on-the-job training.

The engine was started and stabilized at idle RPM for approximately 3 minutes while the initial leak check was performed by the two journeymen mechanics that were working around the engine. One of these two mechanics then called the captain on the ground intercom system and reported that a small oil leak was detected, and he requested that the captain run the engine at 70 percent power for 2 minutes to conduct further checks. The captain complied with the request, after verifying with the mechanic that the area around the airplane was clear.

Witnesses on the ground and in the airplane stated that they saw the mechanic on the outboard side of the engine stand up, step into the inlet hazard zone, and become ingested into the intake of the engine. This occurred about 90 seconds into the 70-percent-power engine run. The mechanic was not wearing any type of safety equipment or lanyard to prevent the ingestion. Upon sensing a buffet, the captain immediately retarded the power lever back to the idle position. The first officer stated to the captain that something went into the engine and the captain immediately cut off the start lever to stop the engine run.

Oh hell - I didn't expect there to be high-resolution full-colour close-up pictures of it!

These photos should not have been leaked; what if one of the poor sod's relatives clicks on that link? That's horrific.

In terms of the engine - I would be surprised if they even tried to repair it. A new CFM-56 engine will set the airline back by around $650,000 US dollars, but the cost of counselling for the passengers and other mechanics who were witness to this incident will probably cost them a whole hell of a lot more.

Sorry highlander,

thought youd of worked out before scroling down on the link therd be gore,

il remove the link if you wish ?

as of leak, itl be world wide by now id Guess, Going off some of the Childish remarks on the thread on the -link,
Most probs Americans

[highlander]

I guess I was expecting graphic descriptions rather than actual photos (or photos that are taken from a distance, from far behind a police cordon, like what most newspapers do).

I don't think I've ever seen a photo set of an accident scene as gory as this before. I'm not squeamish, so I don't mind the link being here - just thought it was quite insensitive of whoever leaked the photos on their LiveJournal page.

Just noticed - this story was posted on that LJ page in May 2010, so this isn't a new incident, and these aren't new photos, so I'm guessing the guy's family is likely to have seen the photos, or at least are aware of the photos.

One of the worst things I'd seen previously was a set of photos someone had taken of a MASSIVE bear that they'd killed; the bear had just killed and partially eaten some dude, and the photo set showed miscellaneous assorted body parts in various states of being chewed or digested, and the bear itself having been slit open. Horrible to look at, but this unfortunate jet-processed guy is even worse than half-eaten-by-bear-dude.

Ive seen worse Mate,
when iworked on the Railways, (smell was worse than sight )

Dont know how old that Story is, ijust noticed it earlier on another forum,
thought it was something that had happend Recently,

[waue1978]

There used to be (or may still be) a whole site of gruesome stuff like that - www.rotten.com.

I can imagine

Was there not some statistic that had come out saying that there was one train company who had realised that every single one of their drivers had been given grief counselling because they'd all been driving a train where some silly f*cker had either deliberately stepped out in front of it (suicide) or had been trying to cut across a level crossing, resulting in their death. Every single one of their drivers.

In terms of smell I reckon the jet victim would be worse - the heat from the sun (it's warm in El Paso) would kick up such a stink, plus the parts that went out the back of the engine would have been cooked (exhaust gas temperature on passenger jet engines reaches around 900 Celsius during take-off)

Theyre prepared for it in advance mate,

sounds daft dont it,

When we did a personal track safety course, they handed us some Realy horrific pictures to look at,
afew workers including Railway police fled the room Throwing up, they gave no warning they just handed the photos round

iguess some took up differnt employment ,

[FarmerPug]

Thats rough to look at, i feel sorry for the family, thats horrific, how would they work around the issue of having a wake, or dealing with the remains?

[DaiRees]

As horrific as it is, I don't find it that gorey really. While I know that it's a human it's not recognisable as such, I find images of badly mutilated bodies (but still recognisable as a body) much more upsetting than this.

As you say though, these pics should never have been leaked, must be hugely traumatic for those left behind. At least they know he didn't suffer.

I once went on a factory visit to an aircraft engine maintanance facility, which included the test beds. Visitors obviously weren't allowed in the chambers, only looking in through the windows, and staff are only allowed with safety gear and tethering, even then only when the engine is off or idling. Once idling they must remain inside a marked are which kept them well clear of the intakes and outlets. Everyone must be out of the room before the revs are raised above idle, the technician doing the tour told me that he often notices the engines sucking in droplets of moisture from the floor underneath and behind the engine, scary!!
