Re: You're doing it wrong!

What is within the engine cowling? I realize the guy could get sucked into the turbines but I cannot tell from the small pic size what is going on in the engine....

Re: You're doing it wrong!

Looks to me like it could be a very expensive box.

Re: You're doing it wrong!

It looks to me like a cargo container for loading on an aircraft. I suspect Photoshop, but you never know.

Re: You're doing it wrong!

This really happened yesterday at LAX on a departing Japan flight. It was all over the news.

Re: You're doing it wrong!

Yes, it's a cargo container and yes, this did really happen yesterday at LAX. No Photoshopping involved. Truth is stranger than fiction.

Re: You're doing it wrong!

Yup, just saw it on CNN here:

Video - Breaking News Videos from CNN.com

Some people had a very, very bad day because of this.

Re: You're doing it wrong!

It has happened before. The first incident in my recollection was a 747 at Frankfurt, Germany making a tight turn out of the gate. Jet engines can really suck. In my Navy carrier experience, I watched a handler get sucked down an F-4 intake and I was 3 planes back from the catapult when a final checker got sucked down an A-6 intake. Both of those airplanes had stationary inlet guide vanes, so the men survived. An incident occurred in my sister A-7 squadron when a kid walked too closely in front and was in the process of getting sucked in when a chief petty officer made a diving grab on his ankles and held on until handlers could get chocks under the wheels and direct the pilot to shut down. It saved the kid's life since the first thing you get to in an A-7 intake is a big rotating fan. Thank God fopr men who are willing to put their own wellbeing on the line to try to save another.
