Friday, June 23, 2023, a ground handler at the San Antonio International Airport was sucked into one of the engines of a Delta flight he was working on. May God rest his Soul.
This video is very interesting. He doesn't use many of the industry terms and even showed a picture of them plugging ground power in while talking about fueling the aircraft. Also the end turned into a ramble about on the military. Easiest thing to remember about aircraft is that the number 1 rule is when engines are running or the beacon lights are on, you stay away. Once the engines are off and spooled down, it is safe to service the aircraft and you can walk infront or behind the engine without harm.
I worked for GE years ago, we got in a CF6-50 high by-pass turbofan that had sucked in a huge chunk of asphalt. It went right through the engine, very interesting viewing the damage ...
When one considers that those engines must lift a 240 ton aircraft off of the ground and up 31,000' into the air (like an Airbus-300 series) you know how powerful they are, those fan-blades in the engine mean business!
It’s obvious this guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Highly volatile jet fuel makes it sound like it is for the space shuttle liquid oxygen. All jet fuel is refined kerosene just a very clean kerosene if you were to take a match and drop it into a bucket jet fuel it would turn out immediately there soon as oil diesel is carrying, but they add a lubricant because the car needed. It is the same thing, but the lubricant cannot be used in the airplanes because it would chill at high altitude because it is so cold.
As a fan of airplanes and everything related, I enjoyed the video! I just wanted to add beyond all the ideas to keep birds away at airports I've seen that some places use trained dogs to keep birds away from the runways
This video doesn't address the other main hazard around jet engines----The DISCHARGE out of the back of the engine is just as dangerous as the intake!The blast is strong enough to blow vehicles and people-even tear them apart!I have seen the danger "cones" painted on airliner engines while you board-show the danger zones on the front and back of the engines.
Wondering why while you were describing the GE9X engine built primarily for the 777x you were showing a 747-8i, very different aircraft. Also the C17 is designated the Globemaster lll, not ll.
I was making service calls at navy air force bases. In the hanger they had a sign that said "Prevent FOD". I had no idea what that means. I came from a small Texas town and recently graduated from high school. Later I found out that FOD meant Foreign Object Damage. I had no idea a fighter jet could suck a bolt or rock off the runway into an engine.
12:38 I work at Hill. I’ve worked on 17-5251, and the most memorable thing that happened recently on 5251, is one of our beloved female pilots decided it’d be a great idea to take off in FULL AFTERBURNER with the parking break on. iirc, there were 7 layers of cord showing on the tires and we had to change both tires, put up the tail hook and do a break function test. The aircraft had to be towed from the runway to its spot, pilot gets out and blames the aircraft for not functioning properly (to put in simple terms) but data showed it was 100% pilot error. Other than that, lovely aircraft!
Thats why the Boeing 727, MD-80s and Boeing 717 is the safest plane for ramp agent to work around, because the engine is mounted on the upper rear instead on the whings.
2:18 - To just think of how they fit that 9X on that 747! that engine by itself could probably get her in the air(no passengers or freight, of course!), fly a course, and land her.
I’ve worked flighline ops on Jets and Propeller aircraft. Jet aircraft don’t worry me to much, but I get very uncomfortable when propellers become invisible once started
As a former navy mechanic on the flight deck of U.S.S. carl vinson. The aircraft I was most afraid of was the E2 Hawkeye. those propellers scared me way more than the jets.
Just last week, I read about a man who lost his life by being sucked into a jet engine at an airport. How can people be unaware of the danger around these huge engines?
What you going on about ?? you're the 0nly one who views the world thru your eyes & hardly thinks with your very limited mind. Nobody else thinks (if at all) as you do 🤫😐😶
Because people are stupid and Dont follow SOP I've been a Ramp Agent for 4 years and I've seen people almost get sucked up I even had to give a guy shit for chocking an Airplane while the engine was still Running
@@danielpetrucci8952 I agree with you! I see things on the tarmac and worse, taxiing out or coming in, that astound me! I sometimes wonder how these people are still in one piece!
On my aircraft carrier you had to be immensely careful that you didn’t get sucked into a fighters intake. They all will get an ill prepared deck hand. Our worse fighter for this was the E-6 intruder. Affectionately called the man eater, for that reason. And it’s why it’s the most dangerous job you can have
*_Former Boeing Everett.... The GE9x high bypass trubofan jet engines used on 777 and 787 are HUGE._* I have stood inside front cowling of these gigantic engines. The front main fan is 11 feet in diameter. It's wide enough to suck cars and trucks into it's blades. Most of the air flows around turbine core. 10 parts air bypass for every 1 ingested for gas turbine. Most of the trust comes from this bypassed air. They produce over 134,000 pounds of thrust - a world record. Engines are so large, they won't fit inside a standard house. A portion would stick out through the roof. *_If they can suck trucks off the tarmac they have no problem sucking up people... and that really sucks..._*
@@enndubful Thanks for comment. No I live in Yakima now. My sister in law lives in Mukilteo. What was the source of noise? When I worked at Boeing, I lived between Everett Mall and Boeing.

Having served in the US Navy f-18 squadron , When deployed on a carrier the E-2 Hawkeye always had my attention and more so at night , You could hear those huge props spinning but couldnt see them , Head on a swivel !
Not to mention while on the flight deck, you have ear muffs on and can barely hear if engines are running and props turning. Same goes with people walking into tail rotor on helicopter. You think that it can't happen... but it does and is really bad.
@@kellywilson8440 Thank you for your service. Former Boeing... I loved time spent working with Navy on F/A-18 Super Hornet in St Louis. It was a nice break from giant passenger planes. Always greatest respect for Navy. My dad was a WWII Navy vet who served in the Pacific. I was going into Marines to become a pilot at end of Vietnam. War ended before all paperwork approved. Returning pilots had first pick of slots. I went to college and served in other ways. Flight deck on a carrier is one of most dangerous places on Earth. Planes coming and going in tight time slots. Large crews working in sync with one another. Everyone needs a buddy to watch their six. I spent time on the Flight Line at Boeing Everett. You had to pass training before getting anywhere close to operational aircraft. Laws of Physics in action. Jet Blast and Turbine Intake Airflow have zero respect for your life. Moving aircraft always have the right away. Don't bother trying to outrun a speeding plane, they can go really fast even on the ground.
Ironically the video was dropped 6 months ago😂😂😂 To be honest, it's the algorithm. People must've been searching for this type of video recently, so UA-cam pushed it up front
Unless the engine is running at a very high RPM, No intake accident should occur, while the aircraft is at the gate, loading unloading or fueling. During takeoff and in flight intake incidents can take lace!
Agree. Intake incidents do not happen at low RPM situations like pushback. Serious accidents need the engines running at fairly high throttle settings.
I have never went to sleep watching a plane documentary ......... I started watching this on 1/12/ 23 and now it is 7/10/ 28 ...... what happened ? Don't tell me .......... done enough sleeping ! WOW his ( fuctus ) videos are like Ambien !!!
Intresting you are talking about jet intakes, but failed to mention the three deadly jet intake accidents that have recently happened, all three fatal ingestions,, and lets not forget during the gulf War, Petty Officer J Bridges was sucked into the intake of an A6, yet he survived
Arent engine caps with hollow mesh designed strong enough to push the bird off to the sides on impact while not impeding upon intake a standard thing for such engines. You would think that would have been mandatory years ago.
@@avstud09 You see them sometimes on model jet engines, which have a rather high risk of FOD being sucked into the engine. There is definitely a performance hit.
Its not very dangerous as long as you keep the very few simple rules in mind while working around an airplane. And its simplier than ever. If beacon on the plane is flashing, the engines are on or about to be. And keep 5 meters away from the inlet and keep out in the blast line of the exhaust. Thats it.
Airline companies are not interested in creating more speed, otherwise, they would have kept up with "Super Sonic" flights decades ago. And civil aircraft today don't travel any faster than they did back in the 1960's.
I am an aircraft engineer who has worked on and tested aircraft engines whilst at idle. Baggage handlers never work near operating engines. Engines are not run whilst fuelling except for one very specific reason. It appears your video is intended to scare. People who get sucked into engines should not be on an airport.
@Red Wolf Piping it happens. But fir this person to say baggage handling us dangerous is absolute rubbish used to fuel aircraft, push them back, be on the head set, do maintenance and actually run up and taxi B747 for maintenance. Si I guess I know something about working with aircraft
When I saw the bit with the test cannon firing birds at the windscreen, I was thinking of the old joke about it (the one that ends with "thaw the turkey first").
No one should be approaching a commercial aircraft if the navigation lights are on. The engine should not be running if they are not. Incredible that the KC 135, developed alongside the Boeing 707 is still in use today, re engined.
And you don’t work around them obviously. The nav lights are on all the time at the airline I work for. The BEACON being on means be alert and approach it with caution, or it is about to push.
My kitty escaped from his crate after being dropped at Pearson International. All aircraft shut down for almost an hour. Allegedly my kitty cost the airport around 200k. Priceless.
There's a video of a guy getting sucked in- but he miraculously survived (his clothing got caught on something in the intake and it prevented him from getting pulled in, but he got some pretty bad hand injuries (nothing permanent, I don't think, though).
An aircraft engine will never be running while loading baggage or fuel unless it necessary such as lack of an APU or a ground power unit and usually the engine will be running on the opposite side of the aircraft cargo or baggage loading doors....
Putting some sort of mesh in front of the engine would interfere with the flow of air into the engine causing a reduction in engine thrust. This would get even worse if the airplane was flying through meteorological conditions where icing is likely to occur. If the accumulated ice on the mesh becomes severe enough the flow of air could become so restricted that the engine could shut down completely.
Ok, putting mesh onto the front then shoot a 12 LB bowling ball at it, what would happen? It would punch through it, and if that screen were to fail, you would have bird debri go into the engine as well as the screen itself, causing even more damage then just the bird, also, leaves and grass would plug the screen and cause engine surge or engine flame out
I don't think anyone says "seven hundred seventy seven" they all say "triple seven" haha! jk Great video! I'm fascinated with jet engines! They're so cool!
hey guys, you should activate the subtitles, my father watches these videos but he doesn't understand the language, if you activate this function many people will appreciate it. thank you!
Usually they don't, but sometimes they have to. The recent accident where a ramp worker was sucked into a jet engine happened when the airplane's Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) wasn't working. Usually the APU provides electrical power for ground operations at the gate until the airplane can be connected to ground power. Without the APU being available they had to keep one engine running for a short period of time after the airplane got to the gate. Despite being warned about the hazard one ramp worker walked in front of the engine while it was still running and she got sucked in.

"... proper distance is respected at all times. And care is taken ensure nothing is placed infront of the in take." The engine is not running during loading/unloading and a safety cone IS placed right infront of the intake.
The condition of the smaller pipe shown t minute 15.30 are unacceptable. Someone should tell them. Who is responsible for health and safety of equipment there? It’s just not good enough.
Baggage\freight loading, unloading and refueling are safe due to the fact they do not run the engines at the gates. Military cargo jets also do not run the engines during loading or unloading. The exhaust of jet engines is equally dangerous, you did not cover that.
Friday, June 23, 2023, a ground handler at the San Antonio International Airport was sucked into one of the engines of a Delta flight he was working on. May God rest his Soul.
It was reported on his death certificate he did it on purpose.
Suicide, he left a note behind.
It's an note from experience system havent hours.

I think this was more about airplane and it’s cargo space then it was about objects being sucked into the engine.

You can’t leak check them without them running and being up close. I do it all the time. It’s THE beacon. I can tell you don’t work around planes.

I wonder why they don't put mesh in front of the engines to stop bird and other things from getting in the engines.
But the bird would still get sucked into it, the mesh would act like a multi slicer sadly. Such is the _enormous_ power of those engines.
Putting some sort of mesh in front of the engine would interfere with the flow of air into the engine causing a reduction in engine thrust. This would get even worse if the airplane was flying through meteorological conditions where icing is likely to occur.

Don’t have them running,while people are doing loading or maintenance?
Usually they don't, but sometimes they have to. The recent accident where a ramp worker was sucked into a jet engine happened when the airplane's Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) wasn't working. Usually the APU provides electrical power for ground operations at the gate until the airplane can be connected to ground power. Without the APU being available they had to keep one engine running for a short period of time after the airplane got to the gate. Despite being warned about the hazard one ramp worker walked in front of the engine while it was still running and she got sucked in.
مثل هذه المحركات يجب أن تعمل تحت نضام حماية في حال سحب الهواء بنضام ضوي استشعاري في حالات مثل الطيور المهاجره واي جسم اخر ويعطي ذلك الضوء مسافة أمنه بكم متر عندما يستشعر بشئ ينكسر الضوء الي الخارج بالهواء وبطريقة امنه
I'm a bit more concerned about the handling,transport, and what passengers may find when their pets meet destination
Poor traumatized workers rendered hysterical because frightened 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by terror and all ending up in bloody lint after excruciating cries of suffering. ☠
What in gods name are you trying to say
Bruh…
Get a different line of work if they are that traumatized...
I think I’m in love
Maybe!?
Sorry guy , timestamp 13.22 is a C17 Globemaster III not II
A worker willfully feeding a running engine a plastic cone will assure their employabilty will be zero.

"... proper distance is respected at all times. And care is taken ensure nothing is placed infront of the in take."
The engine is not running during loading/unloading and a safety cone IS placed right infront of the intake.
Am I 441th In the comments?
The condition of the smaller pipe shown t minute 15.30 are unacceptable. Someone should tell them. Who is responsible for health and safety of equipment there? It’s just not good enough.
This video sure jumps around a lot to topics that have nothing to do with operating in proximity to jet engines..
While ground work is being done close to aircraft engines should not be started until unless all the ground work is cleared #
Boeing didn’t make the C17. McDouglas did.
that would hurt, ouch
Baggage\freight loading, unloading and refueling are safe due to the fact they do not run the engines at the gates. Military cargo jets also do not run the engines during loading or unloading. The exhaust of jet engines is equally dangerous, you did not cover that.
Jet A is not flammable it is combustible !
You will see mine, btw im 11 years old!!!
Aircraft shall never spool up before in pushback! What army/navy does is different ..
I run engines on planes every night…it isn’t a big deal
2 pints of lager and a packet of crisps please
