The person was at least partially consumed by one of the engines, an official confirmed to ABC News, causing a brief engine fire that was extinguished by firefighters.
Fuck dude. Gruesome. Mental health break? Suicidal intent?
CW: tasteless joke involving suicide
I’m gonna end it all. For real this time.
How?
'Member how I talked about death by cop?
Yeah. That?
Nah. But it gave me an idea. I want to go out with a bang kinda. Try to guess.
Death with a bang kinda but of course you don’t want to hurt anybody else… Hmmm… Let’s see… You could… I got nothin’.
Death by airliner.
What?
Walk onto a runway and get sucked into an engine.
Metal.
It’s like that Drew Michael bit about what would be a fun way to commit suicide
A source briefed on the incident told ABC News that airport security was inspecting the east perimeter fence on Saturday morning for gaps and the person struck did not appear to be connected to the work occurring on a parallel runway.
If I interpret this to mean that it was a rando who snuck onto the runway, this smells of FAFO. What are you doing walking? It’s called the runway for a reason…
dude thought it was a walkway
I thought runway means I’m supposed to practice my sprints there

Is it because the media is now reporting on it or have we always had so many airline accidents?
there has been a massive layoff on air traffic controllers, there’s fewer ones working more hours.
Well there isn’t supposed to be anyone on active runways unless otherwise communicated to the tower people to make it a not active runway.
Also accidents do happen somewhat often but they usually go unreported because either 1 everyone involved and those nearby uninvolved just gossip among themselves without really reporting it to a journalist, or 2 corporate is burying, obfuscating, or silencing the truth of whatever going on because it would get them in a lot of legal trouble if it got discovered
it’s media reporting on every single incident, whether there is fatalities or not. planes often have issues and and then land safely or abort take off but now there is way more articles about it. i imagine the information is more readily available too so it’s easy to report on. now things like doors falling the fuck off is pretty absurd, but we definitely now hear more about every single emergency landing from engine issues. here’s a bunch of charts showing how much safer it is compared to 50 years ago
What happened in the mid 80s to cause that bump and was it reagan
Could’ve been Regan declaring the air traffic controllers strike illegal and firing 11,000 of them. That was in 1981 but the effects are still felt today.
Airlines did their own austerity and ignored alot of maintenance. Alot of planes were outdated too. Aviation as an industry has an impressive record of learning from mistakes, but the mistake has to happen first. So there are decades that look horrifying, but flying is incredibly safe now because of what we learned from those decades.
Dodge you idiots. Its goal was plebs like us.
