"Jim Logajan" wrote in Wow - the whole issue is a mess of fact and fiction. Consider: 1) There appear to a bunch of obviously faked videos on Youtube of people getting "sucked" into jet engines. This makes it tedious to sort out the legit from the bogus. 2) Some videos, like this one showing a helmet (cranial) getting sucked off a guys head, seem perfectly legit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OswpNAH9nrk The case I saw might have been the Ayres incident you cited It has been a while since I saw it, but it was well documented. The person that was "sucked" was training a person, and stepped in to check the work, and was out of position. It seems the A-6's intake is in a position and has high velocity that makes a habit of sucking things into it. I first saw the incident on TV and did not see the part about him surviving, and had more than one nightmare about it. I was glad to later see that he did not get chopped up. I just remembered something else; he said his cranial came off and FODed the engine, the engine was shut down quickly. If it had not, it might have pulled him in the rest of the way. -- Jim in NC |

Dud and I had to teach him a few real basics about flying and that really upset him. He's trying to sound like me, Franklin. He claim he used to be Navy Seal but the only special operation he goes on is when his Mom tells him his dinner is ready. |

It's easy to be taken in by it, I agree, but I think that once you come to the proper realizations it's not too hard to see that it must be fake. To me, the most damning mistake in the video is the fact that the plane sits perfectly level after the landing. Wings are *heavy*. Having only one would make that plane tip right over onto its wingtip. Once I realized what I was looking at, this to me was ironclad proof that they were filming a plane with two intact wings, with the angle cleverly chosen to hide one, and the rest done by some special effects trickery. People believe almost anything once they suspend common sense. Just look at a jet intake for 2 seconds. No calculations necessary. Here's another http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTzSxxH2s3U And another cat fake: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dzi_8Rscfs |

We regularly take wings off airplanes for repairs of one sort or another. The airplane does NOT tip onto its other wingtip. The density of wing structures is very light; like most of the rest of the airframe, it's nearly all airspace. A 172's wing weighs maybe 70 or 80 pounds, max. See this video about the wing-losing video, which was clearly faked. See especially the last few seconds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I89EMDZ0dsc Dan |

"Franklin," why don't explain and entertain us with your theory behind this being a fake. How does "looking at a jet engine for 2 seconds" convince one to believe this accident was a fake? Franklin, the serviceman being sucked into the jet on-deck was real, very, very real. Ricky |

Are you suggesting that the referred video was a fake - I think it isn't - or that one can't at all be sucked into a jet engine? If the latter, you might be wrong. I seem to remember a Continental mechanic ending up inside one of their 737 turbines a few years ago (in Texas?). And didn't a sucked luggage container at LAX delay a JAL 747 the other day? That container didn't go through the blades of course but the human skeleton is less resistant to whirring fan blades. No I think you can maim yourself if you're in the intake draft cone of a turbine. Ramapriya |
