The A7 Corsair was famous for that, but this is an A6 Intruder
Situational awareness is hard. Totally didn’t see that giant engine there.

Ever do flight ops on a carrier? Exhaustion is a real thing (in more ways than one)
Darwinism...

E175. The news photo showed a high-tail mount engine… made me wonder how they could happen.
But this is an E175. Low slung for sure.
Baggage handlers aren’t your everyday FOD… but there ya go!
His 2023 started poorly…

There are pictures that can be easily found online which shows the aftermath of a mechanic being ingested into a Continental Airlines 737 engine while they were running the engine after maintenance while the plane was parked at the gate. Happened around 2006 or so. Gruesome shit. Passengers awaiting to board saw it too through the terminal windows. Probably fucked up some people's heads.
And a little follow-up. American Airlines was fined $15k over the inciden.

American Airlines fined $15K after mom of 3 was ‘violently’ sucked into plane’s engine on New Year’s Eve
OSHA fined Piedmont Airlines for a safety breach that led to the death of Courtney Edwards, a mom of three, at Montgomery Regional Airport on Dec. 31.
nypost.com Which is utter BS. If you read the report, everyone was briefed not to approach the plane until it was shut down. They had to keep one engine running because the APU was inoperable. There WAS a briefing. She ignored it. Not AA's fault.And a little follow-up. American Airlines was fined $15k over the inciden.

Might also be an age thing. I doubt many people in the millennial and gen-z cohorts really comprehend the physics involved. At least it would help bolster my theory that these two groups will cede control of the planet back to the apes.
I love how they have to actually tell us that a person sucked into a turbo fan engine didn't survive.
The official story is he lived. I don't believe for one second that he lived.
That's gonna leave a mark.
If it was a suicide then the individual picked an interesting way to go. Probably the fastest way out for them while giving everyone the middle finger on the way out. And maybe also trying to be immortalized by being remembered for something by more than a handful of people.
Feb 20, 1991 on Roosevelt in the Persian Gulf.
Yep.
These incidents prove that the old saying “Eagles may soar but Weasels don’t get sucked into jet engines” is incorrect.
