Holy smokes. Wow. What a great thing to have your head screwed on straight and be able to save the life of someone in the moment because of it.
Yes he was lucky to have a strap on his gear get caught on the intake keeping him from being ingested.
Listen stupid, do you understand any German?
Go look up what ‘’Das ist kalt’’means.
My goodness that’s awful. I remember seeing video from the flight deck of a USN carrier with an A6 Intruder getting ready taxi to it’s flight position and a kid on the deck got too close to the rear intake, pulled in and spat out the front intake.
He was still alive but he was pretty banged up.
Most amazing thing I think I’ve ever seen.
I saw that too! Good Lord that was amazing yet horrible.
The kid did survive but he looked pretty banged up.
HaHa I am not stupid...I know what it means.
Busek is a native German speaker. I remember only what I learned in high school decades ago.
I think there may have been a misunderstanding here.
Well done
No sweat.
