I was 15 feet away from a guy that walked in front of a running jet engine aboard the USS Nimitz in 1983-84 unfortunately he went in but didn't survive. Worst thing I ever witnessed in my life, besides for my bunkmate in boot camp having a heart attack and dying in my arms. While running on the asphalt in 105 degree heat in Orlando Florida in the middle of summer fully clothed.
I’ve never served, but I actually had the unique opportunity to walk aboard the USS Nimitz while docked at the NAS in Coronado, CA back in 2004 (I was 17 at the time). I was out there with a church group rebuilding homes burned in wildfires the year prior. The pastor happened to know a high-ranking CO stationed in San Diego at the time; I believe a Rear Admiral (Lower Half), and so he was able to get us all a special guided tour of the carrier. What an unbelievably impressive ship! I’ll never forget it. Btw, that’s definitely a terrible to thing to hear. I can’t even begin to imagine watching a guy meet his fate first-hand like that. That would truly be a very haunting experience. And your bunkmate, that’s another terrible tragedy. I assume he was a just a normal, young guy who was otherwise healthy and fit. Sad.
My brother was on the Kennedy, saw a guy get sucked into a jet intake,,it spit him out in pieces no bigger than a fingernail. A ship was tying up to the pier ahead of us one day and a guy got his foot caught in a bight in a mooring line and he got pulled through an 8 inch closed chock before someone could get a fire axe to cut the line. He was alive and screaming the entire time. His right leg folded back against his side and his whole body went through the chock, leaving his insides and most of his skin laying on the flight deck. Seagulls were swooping in and eating everything. There was nothing anyone could do. Pretty fucking horrible.
@@ricj101a byte is the term referred to the loops that a morring line forms when you fake (lay)it down.

I'm 'presuming' that this was a recognized hazard already, what safety procedures were in place to stop such an event, and what was the failure here ?🤔 (Also, there must have been a 'first-man-to-get-sucked-into-a-jet-engine-in-history', who was that ?)
Thanks ! Do you know what 'task' this chap was performing ? There seems to be a fine line between safety and disaster. I suppose there is the danger that any foreign object could also be sucked in there.@@jimboswell4818
its sad to think that this guy was living his normal life for the first 42 seconds before becoming incredibly unfortunate yet lucky. i looked it up, he survived.
Thats not a dangerous assumption. Thats called hot refueling standered to do. Sounds like the pilot fucked up they know which engine to turn off. Also the fueler fucked up by walking in front of the engine which you never do
That he survived didn't make sense to me until I looked at a clear picture of the aircraft. The inlet is on the smaller side. The guy didn't get sucked THROUGH the engine, he (or his gear or fate or whatever) was able to prevent himself from being pulled all the way in and they were able to shut the engine down and get him out.
I remember what it was like to stick your hand into the intake of an F-111 when we were required to do cowl actuator switch checks before take off. Never forget how incredibly powerful it felt and that was at idle.
It's early in the morning around 3:00 AM. They're launching an EA6 aircraft on a catapult and one of the aircraft handlers steps directly in front of the port side (left) engine intake. He is immediately "ingested" by the port side engine. His clothing gets snagged on something inside the intake (probably a pitot tube). His cranial (flight deck helmet) comes off his head and F.O.D.s the engine. This abrupt power loss to the engine and the fact that he is snagged on a pitot tube saves his life... He suffers a broken collarbone and a blown eardrum. I joined the Navy right as desert storm was kicking off. Ended up a Yellow shirt at Air Ops T-line and Aircrew on the UC12B TurboProp.. This was the first safety flick we were shown. Message Received. I've launched my fair share of these jets and the intake is just above your head and not much bigger than a man. You can feel the draft from the intake from about 5 to 10 feet away at idle. When there's water on the ground you can see little vortices that look like tiny tornadoes wandering around like they're looking for something. This is one of the aircraft that has the nickname "Man Eater" for a reason. The A-7 Corsair is another one. Better keep your head on a swivel.
Air Force here. Fully fueled up B-52's have their wings flex very low (hence the wing tip landing gear). When loaded like that, the engine nacelles are only about 2 feet off the tarmac. Air crew did a start up and I saw one of those funnels you mentioned form and fully ingest a 10' radius puddle under the plane in about 30 seconds. Wish we had cell phones to film with back in the day because at that point in my life it was one of the coolest things I'd ever seen first hand. Side note, with empty wing tanks you'd barely reach the wing tip standing on your toes with your arm straight up. Those wings can flex a lot.
I've said it and I'll say it again: There are little to no reasons for ground personel being near running aircraft. When you're ordered to do that, you've become part of cost-cutting measures.

If this happened in the UK, someone would have told him to get his Ass straight down to the betting shop and back a race horse, buy a lottery ticket and spend £100 on scratch cards . . . .
I was on the USS Ranger 1967 and 1968 and heard of this happening. I don’t think this was the same incident because I worked on A6A's. Anyway, the guy that I heard about lost one hand, one eye, suffered a collapsed lung.
Saw this after I was working as a ramper for SWA. We had one plane that had to keep the engine running (I think APU was not functioning properly), and we were working around it after being cautioned to be aware of where we were in relation to the engine. I could feel the suction plucking at my shirt sleeve, and recalling this video. We were all glad when that plane was pushed back.
While watching the video I thought it was going to be the guy spinning that front wheel, not some last moment guy walking into the front of the engine. What the hell was he thinking?

Yes , a fine command. I ran The Px. General .. General Erection. Of course I couldn't have done it with out A Major Boner ! Yes , Major Boner is huge when it comes to supply !
Too many silly comments going on as to why he survived. Bottom line is that in front of the first rotating stage of the fan of the J-52 engine is the stator. That is what saved him. True his cranial came off as well as his flashlight and fodded out the engine giving way to sparks out the exhaust but he did not hang up on anything.
He was wearing his cranial (helmet) improperly. He did not have the chin strap fastened, the engine sucked the cranial off and FODed(foreign object damage) out the engine.
My grandfather was in this video to the left The guy only had cuts bruises and a massive bruise in his shoulder because of the middle bullet part of the turbine
@@AlexandreG The guy survived due to his helmet and goggles coming off which tore the turbines blades. He also miraculously was able to catch himself on the internal walls, however this shattered his collarbone. Guy was fucking lucky big time. There's news articles detailing the events if you Google it.
They cut the video off early. His cranial cap (helmet) got sucked off, fodded out the engine and he backed out. Saw it while on-board watching flight ops from our berthing tv.
Petty Officer JD Bridges, a 21-year-old flight deck crewman, was preparing an A-6 Intruder for takeoff when he found himself pulled into the aircraft's jet engine intake. Miraculously, Bridges managed to survive the incident.
It's ok, he survived. His helmet and vest fucked the engine and the cone prevented him from going into the meat grinder parts. For better explanation: ua-cam.com/video/dsA92QnWXdY/v-deo.html
Never actually saw anything like this until now, but we were warned to stay away from the engines on the flight line unless we wanted to come out the other end a red spray.
Taken on Feb. 20, 1991 during Operation Desert Storm aboard USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71), the scary video in this post shows Petty Officer JD Bridges getting sucked into a jet engine of an A-6 Intruder. Incredibly, Bridget, then 21 years old, managed to survive.
I was wondering how the engine blew up before the guy got all the way in there. Now I understand that the flashlight saved his life. I bet he's still cleaning his shorts out.
#OTD in 1991, flight deck crewman John Bridges was sucked into the intake of an A-6E aboard USS Theodore Roosevelt. Incredibly, he survived because he became wedged in the engine. The flames were caused by his equipment getting pulled through the jet.
I heard he saw a cat hiding in the engines workings, so, in a display of incredible bravery, he immediately jumped into the engine to affect a rescue. If you watch it closely you can clearly see how determined he was to save the cat.
The engine had stator veins ahead of the intake, that is what ultimately stopped him from getting dragged through the compressor. Regardless of the FOD killing the engine, everything is still spinning at high enough speed to mince him up. But thankfully those stators acted like a cage that barred his body from going right through
he survived. he was apparently wedged right in between two completely random parts of the engine and due to something triggering something, the engine was turned off and they took him out of it. his name is john bridget
Friend of mine in the Navy was on an aircraft carrier . he said one of the guys got a Dear John Letter walked up on the flight line jumped in the damn gas turbine .my friend said they had to walk the flight deck shoulder to shoulder from one end to the other said the biggest piece they found was the size of a thumbnail I don't know I wasn't there
Very annoying he survived without consequence. its like telling your kid not to do something because they will get hurt and then they do it anyway and dont get hurt. this undermines reality
…and just like _THAT_ he became immortalized in Navy bootcamp safety training videos.

The guy actually didn't fit into the actual engine intake. His helmet got sucked off, and caused the engine explosion.

They cut the video off early. His cranial cap (helmet) got sucked off, fodded out the engine and he backed out. Saw it while on-board watching flight ops from our berthing tv.
His helmet got sucked off? Lucky bastard....
Haha
What ship, squadron, and year was this recorded?
They had to pull him out by his pedal clothing (boots).
I bet his pants were completely full
I would assume this experience SUCKED
thank you thank you very much
“literally” 😂
And I wonder how many times he was told from day one, to never ever walk in front of a engine intake.
Delta P strikes again
when it's gotcha, it's gotcha!
Engine slurped that man up like a noodle. Terrifying
The sailor actually survived this accident, crazy.
Petty Officer JD Bridges, a 21-year-old flight deck crewman, was preparing an A-6 Intruder for takeoff when he found himself pulled into the aircraft's jet engine intake. Miraculously, Bridges managed to survive the incident.
Explaining this video to someone just now, I had to stop because, ""his belt buckle got caught and then his" -- ."HELMET GOT SUCKED OFF"..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fuck this makes my heart race alot.
It's ok, he survived. His helmet and vest fucked the engine and the cone prevented him from going into the meat grinder parts.

Me too 😓
no capes
I understood that reference!😂
Never actually saw anything like this until now, but we were warned to stay away from the engines on the flight line unless we wanted to come out the other end a red spray.
Remember that droid that got sucked into the pod racer. Art imitates life
The way the vacuum liquifies his body into a spaghetti stream is diabolical.
He survived.
Guy survived, but the guy that got sucked into the A-7 for, well, no more.
Taken on Feb. 20, 1991 during Operation Desert Storm aboard USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71), the scary video in this post shows Petty Officer JD Bridges getting sucked into a jet engine of an A-6 Intruder. Incredibly, Bridget, then 21 years old, managed to survive.
I was wondering how the engine blew up before the guy got all the way in there. Now I understand that the flashlight saved his life. I bet he's still cleaning his shorts out.
#OTD in 1991, flight deck crewman John Bridges was sucked into the intake of an A-6E aboard USS Theodore Roosevelt. Incredibly, he survived because he became wedged in the engine. The flames were caused by his equipment getting pulled through the jet.
He fully recovered in less time than Lonzo Ball
He is now the poster child for why carrier decks are 1 of the most dsngerous workpalces on the planet in the navy safety videos
I heard he saw a cat hiding in the engines workings, so, in a display of incredible bravery, he immediately jumped into the engine to affect a rescue.
If you watch it closely you can clearly see how determined he was to save the cat.
Everyone knows it, that he had ulterior motives
How has UA-cam not taken this down after 9 years lmao
Because it doesnt violate TOS of youtube
The dude actually survived in this incident. Most were unlucky enough to be turned into paste.
I thought this was one of those horror VHS thingys, then I saw when it was posted.
The engine had stator veins ahead of the intake, that is what ultimately stopped him from getting dragged through the compressor.
Regardless of the FOD killing the engine, everything is still spinning at high enough speed to mince him up. But thankfully those stators acted like a cage that barred his body from going right through
wanna make a safey standdown.... cuz thats how you get a safety standdown
His superiors made him do a bunch of push-ups as punishment.
Fly Navy! Damn…always stay alert gentlemen!
USNA ‘79
This video and The Man From Lox were good at pointing out why they drill into you Keep your head on a swivel and Pay attention to detail .
"The board has concluded that your many turbine blade shaped cuts and bruises aren't service related"
No way he survived. RIP and everyone play it safe always. Do not take any risk if you do not know just dont do it. Stay safe
he survived. he was apparently wedged right in between two completely random parts of the engine and due to something triggering something, the engine was turned off and they took him out of it. his name is john bridget
Admiral would probably say "Just walk it off" 😂
He saw the plane moving which means engines were ramping up but kept polishing the wheels!
The guy polishing the wheels isn’t the one that got sucked in.
Watch it again.
VA: “how do you figure this is service connected?”
Even during piece time, military service can be fucking dangerous
I remember these training videos.
"your injury is not service related"
here's some motrin & a sick profile for 20 minutes of light duty....
Grave warning.
But the crazy thing is, he survived because his flashlight and helmet jammed the engine
Literally a big second chance
Yeah I remeber, the Darwin award of 1991, a classic…
Today I’m meeting with the bombadier of that A-6
How did it go
@@thescotslair Yeah, it's been four months, now
@@WorthlessDeadEnd I still want to know regardless
@@thescotslair Exactly. Me, too
@@WorthlessDeadEnd Update??? What happened??
Friend of mine in the Navy was on an aircraft carrier . he said one of the guys got a Dear John Letter walked up on the flight line jumped in the damn gas turbine .my friend said they had to walk the flight deck shoulder to shoulder from one end to the other said the biggest piece they found was the size of a thumbnail I don't know I wasn't there
Thats enough to give you a splitting headache
This never would have happened had he wore a PT belt
My dad would have come to the funeral, but it interfered with his nap time.
This fellow was what we call a 'professional'. Don't try this at home.
His body distortion... it's like he entered a portal
And the tradition of never strapping your helmet continues
He lived too, can't remember but like 7 years ago I watch some airforce documentary and it talked on this
Looked like he got slurpped through a straw 😅
"Injuries not service related" they say
Very annoying he survived without consequence. its like telling your kid not to do something because they will get hurt and then they do it anyway and dont get hurt. this undermines reality
