r721: Engineer sucked into engine aftermath

Engineer sucked into engine aftermath
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.

Was there no one there to give first aid?

Don't think I'd have managed to get a tourniquet to work on that, a mop may be better.

Was the flight able to leave on time?

If it was Ryanair they would have thrown a bucket of water through it and left on time, then billed the family for the bits of him still stuck.

Suppose that means an engine change, then ?

So.....did he come out of it ok?

I wonder if the family asked for an open casket.

Thats got to suck! (geddit ;) )

At least its fast

Did AC/DC get their luggage late?
