That seems an odd way to commit suicide. Perhaps he was a turbinosexual.

Pretty damn inconsiderate of him to screw up a flight for all those people. Damn inconsiderate.

Well, I’ll give him points for originality....but sad to say the least.......notvto mention the horror of anyone who witnessed it.

I’ve had to scrub bird remains from aircraft fan blades - I can’t imagine THAT mess.

It’s a rather odd way to off yourself... There was likely something else going on here.

If it was a real suicide, what a nasty person he was.

If it was a setup - hm, why would they choose that as a way to off him? I know that making it appear that someone committed suicide is a popular way to off someone, but - that seems too spectacular!

Maybe it was an impersonation setup - there probably wasn’t a lot left of whoever died there and extensive forensic testing will be required to figure out the real identity.

Of course - now that I think about it - I’ve known people who WORKED FOR THE AIRLINES who would set stuff up like that and consider it a prank - like when the guy gets sucked into the engine they’re like “OOOPS!” and, after sharing a giggle, just walk off and pretend nothing happened. (Oh, yes I have! You wouldn’t believe what these dudes would admit to. They didn’t have to worry about getting fired because of their union.)

That’s why - I will tell you in all earnestness, because I care about your stupid a$$: TRY TO TRAVEL BY GROUND WHENEVER POSSIBLE AND/OR PRACTICAL. AIR TRAVEL IS NOT WORTH THE EXPENSE OR THE RISK!

Four paragraphs before they actually tell you where it happened.

Not advocating suicide, but it would be such an instant death as to be practically painless, providing you went head first. (Though I don’t really see how you could go in any other way...)

I hope the engine wasn’t badly damaged.

Interesting...back in the day, I was sucked under a pier by a wave, in the San Diego area.

That man must have been truly mentally ill to commit suicide by jumping into a jet engine.

Ditto for anyone who willingly jumps off the Golden Gate Bridge.

And yet, not a single Afghani, among hundreds, was sucked into an engine (I will note that no fan compressor blades are visible) during the US withdrawal from Kabul:

Hmmm....use your logic. Perhaps the Ghost Army had a hand:

There was a UAL 747 that lost the fwd cargo door. Some passengers were sucked out and at least one went through the engine. They buried the engine.
