Ramp Agent Sucked Into Engine of 757.

It was a Shanghai 757.....don't know the date, or the story....but I have some great pics of the aftermath. PM me if you want me to send them to you. Also, no, this is not the ones of the COA mechanic sucked in at El Paso or Austin that I posted a couple years ago.

That's good stuff for Ogrish.com, mate. What a sight it would be to see that ****.... I would probably traumatized years after an accident like that if I was there. Whatever the date may be, (RIP) may he rest in pieces...

..... I was on the USS Theodore Roosevelt during Desert Storm and one of our flight deck guys wasn't paying attention and got sucked into the port engine intake of an E-6C Intruder (probably have seen the video of it on TV). He was lucky... bruised as hell, wicked headache, cuts, abrasions and his ears were ringing for a week. His cranial (helmet) was sucked off quickly and fouled the engine, shutting it down. That's the only reason he survived. I was on medical duty that night so I got to do one of the first exams on him. He was kind of in shock from it as anyone would be shaking like a leaf. He was conscious, but really out of it.
..... More than a decade earlier I was on the USS America in the Tonkin Gulf (off Viet Nam if you don't know). Another flight deck crew was careless, not paying attention and he got sucked into and A-7C intake. Those little A-7s were not known as "mankillers" for nothing. Even though the engine shut down quickly, about all that was not ground meat were his legs. I had the bad fortune as it were to be on the flight deck and was immediately called, but as you can guess, there was nothing I could do for the guy. Sad thing was this was the last week of flight ops before we were relieved on station with a port visit in Sydney, Australia and then home (with a port visit in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil... WOO HOO!)
..... Flight decks are dangerous places, even being careful. The week before I arrived to the America they lost a plane chief who (as usual not paying attention) walked into the spinning prop of an E-3C.

Wow, sad to hear that... may they all rest in peace.

The other one you mentioned was here in El Paso. That was a sad situation, and sad to hear it happen again.

I will PM you Dylan, we use stuff like this at work to prevent our ramp rats from the same fate.

I believe we are discussing some poor employee who lost his life here.

Firstly, that must be a big carrier to get 2 different 707 variants onit (E-6 and E-3!!!) but yes, we use that piece of video as part of the training and I think everyone gets told that he died. There was also a Turkish(?) 737 got caught on camera eating its engineer at an outstation. I guess it was never established why he was that close to the engine during an engine run. I get tastily close to aircraft all the time, every day, and i never go stupidly close to the engines when they are turning and burning.
Some 737s have a do-not-go-past-this mark painted on them, and we have a Continental poster on the wall warning us of the dangers of this.

Sorry, But I Couldn't Help Myself. Not That I'm Insensitive To The Death Of A Human Being, But I Couldn't Refuse The Opportunity For Little Levity Here.
The "Minced Meat" Was Not Being Facetios. It Was An Honest Answer To Someones' Question And It Hits The Nail On The Head.
I've Been Debating Wether To Ask Dylan For The Pics Or Not.

Excactly it's only curiosity, which is very noremal. People don't want to see gore they just are well driven by human nature to see how other people messed up. Or became someone else's mess.

The photos arent that bad. Not trying to be rude or anything, but it litterly just looks like ground beef in a fan.

The pics are pretty gruesome

Taste is subjective. My PM box was full in one day, cleared it out, full the next day, you get the idea.

It is morbid curiosity that makes us want to see pics like these. Nothing wrong with that. Doesn't make someone a "sicko" or mean they have "bad taste". It is real life.
