regardless, we probably need a "Don't Shoot The Tank" thread for this, and all similar stories

Point well taken. NSFW is probably just going to attract the curious.

*Graphic Content* leading the title perhaps? It's a bit cumbersome, but it will be clear.

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,

Smuck, the last time you told that story it was funnier. I think it was because it involved an inflatable raft and two male strippers.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

It seems to me that anyone with any intelligence at all should know "This is what happens when you get sucked into a jet engine" can't be a pretty sight.
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

My gods, that's horrible.  Definitely not the way I'd choose to go! 


Also:  Gods, I'm a schmuck.  I saw the thread's title, yet I clicked on it anyway!

Let's hope that Continental makes the poor bastard's family millionaires, or at least high hundred-thousandaires.

Why?  There is a strong chance it was his fault.
I will admit to wondering what he was doing in close proximity to a live jet engine in the first place...

I worked on an airport ramp for a year, loading and unloading luggage and bringing planes in to gates and pushing them out. You'd be amazed the number of people who are walking around a jet with at least one engine going and who have to be stopped from walking right in front of/behind the damn thing.

Thanks, Arctic Blast.  That does help explain things a little.

Well, you know the old saying...curiosity killed the...jet engine repair mechanic?
Works for me!

Oh come on.  You're not even going to mention the dwarf and the unicyle??

Honestly, I think I had blacked out by then. Whatever I may have done, I sincerely apologize.
