Man sucked into jet engine - WARNING!! Graphic Images

[ghosthunter]

A mechanic standing near a Boeing 737 at El Paso International Airport in Texas was sucked into one of the engines and killed Monday, officials said.

Continental Airlines Flight 1515 was preparing to take off for Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston when "a maintenance-related engine run-up of the right-hand engine" was carried out, said Roland Herwig, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration's southwest region in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

"Someone on the ground was sucked into the engine," he said.

In a written statement, Continental Chairman and CEO Larry Kellner said the person killed was a mechanic who worked for one of the airline's suppliers.

"My fellow coworkers and I extend our heartfelt sympathies to the family and friends of the mechanic involved in this tragic event," Kellner said.

The 737-500 was carrying 114 passengers and five crew members at the time of the accident, he said.

"Continental is coordinating assistance for passengers who need help dealing with this tragedy," Kellner said. "Continental's Employee Assistance Program team is also flying to El Paso to meet with employees."

He said the incident occurred during a maintenance check in preparation for the plane's departure.

A spokeswoman for Boeing said Monday's incident is not the first such accident. "It doesn't happen very often," spokeswoman Liz Verdier said. "It has happened in the past."

Either way, she said, the responsibility lies with Continental: "The airlines are responsible for their safety procedures."

The National Transportation Safety Board has sent a team of investigators from its office in Denver, Colorado, Herwig said.

nabungi yung mga blades.........

You have to consider that jet engines are normally expected to deal with bird strikes and hail stones without problems, not the harder bones from a human.

[testament11]

Sumakit ulo ko nung makita ko yun karne

Kawawa naman yun tao pero kung titignan eh anong ginagawa nung tao wherein ok to run na yun eroplano. Tsaka hindi rin nag double check yun pilot o yun ibang tao kung clear na

[jansky]

ouch.. walang natira.. nde na makilala..

[Mguy]

Giniling! Pwede na pang burger.

So sorry for the guy.

[baludoy]

oh, wow.

this brings new meaning to the expression "when the $h*t hits the fan."

naalala ko tuloy iyong incident sa us aircraft carrier kung saan may nahigop na serviceman sa jet engine nung isang eroplano. iyon nga lang sya minor injuries lang ang natamo

[boybi]

Will the family of the service man collect the remains?

[JohnM]

Someone screwed up. Meron dapat laging tao sa harap na naka-headset talking to the pilots directly while on the ground via an audio cable through the front wheel well or thereabouts. Kinakabit pagpasok sa apron and tinatanggal lang kung nasa taxi way na. Either the pilot throttled the engine without asking permission or the ground guy gave permission without checking the area first.

kakain pa naman ako

In that incident, the serviceman was lucky because his helmet saved his life.

I had the warning in the title... too late to blame anyone except yourself.

[userfriendly]

That is probably one of the worst ways to die.

Once saw a video of a plane tender get sucked into a A6 Intruder jet engine. Lucky that the pilot was able to shut down the engine and the guy lived.

Buti pa ang Argentina Corned Beef chunky, eto talagang himay na himay.
I remember na meron incident naman dito sa Port, yung signaller na-pancake nung equipment dahil hindi yata nadinig nung driver yung sigaw na "oooopss!!" kaya ayun, dere-derecho pa din atras.

[ghosthunter]

I remember an incident at the port harbor. One of the massive fork lift trucks was moving through the area with a load. The wife & kid of a seaman was there to say good byes before he boards his ship. Wife didn't see the fork lift truck coming her way and was run over. The wife's body was basically unrecognizable pancake of flesh on the pavement.

The tragedy is the seaman was suddenly left as a widower with his kid beside him.

Actually my morbid mind tells me na ok yung ganitong death. Instant. No pain for the person to feel. Again just my morbid mind thinking ;)
