). Sucked into an airplane turbine (tough! Don't let the impressionable!) A person gets sucked into an airplane turbine

On Tuesday, one of the airport employees died on the tarmac of the Sheremetyevo-1 terminal. As Gazeta.Ru learned from sources in the airport administration, while towing a Boeing 737-700 aircraft belonging to Air Astana and flying on the Moscow-Almaty route at 3.44 Moscow time, an employee of the aviation engineering service died. summer Igor Elfimov. While the engineer was near the engine turbine, the aircraft crew began testing the engine to balance the air supply.
In a matter of seconds, Elfimov was pulled into the inlet device, and then into the turbine fan, where the engineer was literally torn to pieces.

Due to the tragedy, the plane's departure was delayed. Passengers on the Moscow–Almaty flight were immediately disembarked from the plane and transported to a hotel. A few hours later they flew to Alma-Ata on another flight.

According to Gazeta.Ru, Igor Elfimov graduated from MSTU two years ago civil aviation, worked at Bykovo airport, and Last year served aircraft in the aviation engineering service of Sheremetyev-1. As reported by the airport's press service, Igor Elfimov died while working to provide support for the plane being prepared for takeoff. Now the investigation into the death of the engineer is being conducted by a specially created commission, which included specialists from the Federal Service for Supervision of Transport, the Moscow Air Transport Prosecutor's Office and the airport's line department of internal affairs. In turn, airport representative Angelina Matrosova said that the administration of Sheremetyevo-1 expressed condolences to the family of the deceased and is ready to provide his relatives with both material and moral assistance. However, Sheremetyevo refused to say what exactly caused the tragedy. “It’s too early to talk about the reasons for what happened. The circumstances are being clarified and will be announced later,” the airport press service told Gazeta.Ru.

At the same time, according to Gazeta.Ru sources close to the commission investigating the circumstances of the tragedy, there are three main versions of what happened. According to one of them, the cause of the emergency could have been a violation of safety regulations. The Boeing 737 turbines are located at a low distance from the ground; the safe distance to the turbines is about 5 meters. According to eyewitnesses, Igor Elfimov was at the nose landing gear of the plane at the time of the tragedy, ignored the instructions and, at the moment of starting the engine, decided to inspect the turbine again, as a result of which the tragedy occurred. According to another version, the cause of the engineer’s death could have been the uncoordinated actions of the plane’s crew - they could have started the engine ahead of time, and the engineer simply did not have time to move to a safe distance. According to the third version, the cause of the emergency could have been a malfunction of the turbine itself.

As Gazeta.Ru sources noted, in addition to the circumstances of the tragedy, the commission will have to determine material damage. If it turns out that the tragedy occurred through the fault of the airline, then compensation for the material damage caused will be paid to the airport administration. If the administration of Sheremetyevo-1 is found to be the culprit, the owners of the airport will pay for the canceled flight.


Well, he was lucky, he survived. But the one below was VERY UNLUCKY:

In 2012 in International airport Texas El Paso, a mechanical engineer was sucked into the engine of a Boeing 737 plane. International flight 1515 was preparing to take off for Houston.
There were 114 passengers and five crew members on board the Boeing 737-500 aircraft at the time of the incident; while checking the performance of the airliner’s engines, a terrible tragedy occurred.
A Boeing spokesman said that this is not the first such incident, but they happen extremely rarely, “no more than once a year.”
In any case, responsibility for what happened lies with the carrier who owns the aircraft; they should have provided the necessary safety measures.


The traction force is said to be approximately 140 km/h. The reverse jet can lift debris (for example, small stones) into the air from the runway surface, which, when the aircraft runs down the runway at a relatively low speed, can enter the engine air intake and cause engine damage. At a high speed of the aircraft, the raised debris does not create interference, since it does not have time to rise to the height of the air intake by the time it approaches.
How the man got there then is unclear...unless, of course, he really stuck his sleeve in or something.


Well, in general, many Internet users still doubt that it was a person...





Sucked in! (TOUGH! The impressionable DO NOT ENTER!) June 19th, 2014

Well, he was lucky, he survived. But the one under the cut is VERY UNLUCKY :-(

THE IMPRESSIVELY NOT ENTERED , I warn you right away, there is a sea of ​​blood...

An engineer died at Sheremetyevo Airport while starting the engine of a passenger Boeing 737. He was sucked into the plane's turbine. The cause of the tragedy may be the negligence of the engineer himself, the inattention of the pilots of the aircraft, or a malfunction of the turbine.

As noted by the airport administration, such cases have never happened before. However, similar tragedies have already happened in world practice. So, in April 2002, the engine of a Boeing 767 airliner taxiing to the runway at the Japanese Kansai airport airport international, a man got hit. According to police officials, 39-year-old Jian Xinmin, an airline technician, was "sucked" into the engine. There were 218 people on board the Air China plane. He was supposed to fly to Beijing. In addition to the accident, the police then considered the possibility of suicide and an accidental approach to the aircraft engine.
