From the post:

>A mechanic has been sucked into a Boeing passenger jet's engine and killed at Chabahar Konarak airport in southern Iran after he went to retrieve a tool near the aircraft. Local mechanic Abolfazl Amiri was doing routine maintenance work on Iranian domestic airline Varesh Airline's Boeing 737-500 when he was sucked into the engine. According to Bild, the engine on the right-hand side had been started for a test run with the cover flaps open. A safety area had been set up around the engine as is usually recquired.

Such a brutal way to go.. I wonder if being incinerated by the other end of a jet engine would be worse though.

Well, you would probably live a lot longer on the hot end. The other side its like a jet powered wood chipper so you would be out in less than the time to realize "im fucked".

Exhaust gas temperatures range from 1200-3000°F depending on distance from the turbine and engine state. The high end of that range is an engine in burner at point blank range. The incineration would be quick regardless, but getting caught would be a challenge since the force would repelling.

Fun fact.. Jet engines came about in the 1940-50s.

So, you are saying it was possible for the 6 million... If they used jet engines in the burn chambers?

All things aside, interesting.
