Jet engine eats a guy at SATX airport.

Kids just don't listen anymore. They are are told,Trained, told, warned, told, after being told not to step in front of the engines. Maybe they need to be shown a video of what actually happens when they refuse to do as they are Trained and Told to do. That way they too can told the next new employee.

Not being disrespectful here but wanting to know if they would not just replace that engine afterwards if w 200 lb human went thru it?
It would have to be cleaned and inspected at a minimum
I imagine this in in video as there are cameras everywhere ok the ramp

When big birds would go through a TF-30 it would break the blades and stators. You could turn it with your hand and see how it went straight through.

They always seemed to happen in Fridays too. That way the engine could sit in the shop and stink it up all weekend.

Passed away my ass! If he was sucked through the turbines, he was nothing but red mist shooting out the back of it.
That would be a fast way of dying!

Yeah alot in common with those on TItan. That really sucks feel bad for their families and friends

I work in a lot of airports and held contractor badges at Denver, San Antonio, and Houston Intercontinental. I've been on the ramp during operations at Hobby, San Antonio and Denver. If you look out at the ramp there are plenty of pavement markings of where to stand, stage equipment, park the jet and where to stay out of. You must pay attention and keep your head on a swivel. I was never involved with ramp operations or aircraft movement, but I was involved with the ground power and preconditioned air systems and connections at San Antonio's Terminal B when is first opened. I didn't go near the plane until all the ramp rats were doing thier thing. I was glad when we were done and I got back up the the building and away from the plane. You have to keep your head on a swiveland keep your situational awareness up.

Just like any job, a second of not paying attention can cause unhappy events.

Poor training or poor hiring. Or both.

Y'all did hear this was ruled a Suicide?

ETA - yeah, I Guess you did!

Y'all did hear this was ruled a Suicide?

Yup. But .. that's all I managed to read. All they provided. 0 information on how they ruled it a suicide. Like the Clinton lawyer who hanged himself and shot himself with a shotgun at the same time. Immediately ruled suicide without any evidence.
Does anybody have any more details on this case?

Eyewitness reports gathered by Bexar County Medical Examiner’s investigators. Apparently the ramper gave verbal notice and left no doubt it was intentional.

Verbal notice?


What did he say, "hold my beer and watch this"....

 

[Moonpie]

Reading most threads on TGT makes me want to jump into a screaming jet engine.

 

[rr2241tx]

Apparently he left a note and handed his wallet and watch to a coworker just before walking into the No Go area. Physics did the rest.

Give my stuff to my mom/wife/etc.
