That must have been quite messy.....
That's a goddamned shame.
video please.
Yeah, but was the flight delayed?
Seriously, this happened at least once every couple of years or so in the USAF. We would always see safety notices about standing too close to the engines. I actually saw a video once of a flight deck guy get sucked into a fighter jet engine, and spit out the other side. In that particular instance, he was spit out whole and IIRC alive. Of course, they don't have turbines like this Continental flight does.
Yuck... flight-guy-soup....
Some psycho artist-chick used to use a jet engine to paint pictures. She'd get a giant canvass, and throw paint into the exhaust wind of the engine, where it would splatter on the canvass. Probably looked something like that.

Edit: My bust. It is an A-6 Intruder. Although I know some guy had a similar experience on a carrier involving a Harrier, and he lost an arm I think. I'll see if I can find something on it....

Not if you're King Ralph I of England.
A true cinematic masterpiece.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - After a recent serious injury caused by a lawn dart, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reissued its warning that lawn darts are banned and should be destroyed. Effective on December 19, 1988, CPSC banned the sale of all lawn darts in the United States. Pointed lawn darts, intended for use in an outdoor game, have been responsible for the deaths of three children. The most recent injury occurred last week in Elkhart, Ind., when a 7-year-old boy suffered a brain injury after a lawn dart pierced his skull.
"CPSC banned lawn darts in 1988, but some of these dangerous products may still be in garages, basements, or second-hand stores," said CPSC Chairman Ann Brown. "Parents should destroy these banned lawn darts immediately."
Before the 1988 ban, lawn darts were sold in sets that usually included four large darts and two targets. Lawn darts also were sold in packages with other sports equipment. The darts typically are about 12 inches long with a heavy metal or weighted plastic tip on one end and three plastic fins on a rod at the other end. The darts are intended to be grasped by the rod and thrown underhand toward a target. Lawn darts can cause skull punctures and other serious injuries. CPSC urges consumers to discard or destroy all lawn darts immediately. They should not be given away since they may be of harm to others.
Fargin A. I gotta trade my potato gun for some contraband lawn darts.
People who have kids that get injured/killed by lawn darts because they're too stupid to get out of the way want companies to stop making lawn darts.
I say the people who have kids who are too stupid to get out of the way of a 3lb dart should stop making kids. And don't worry about the one that just got turned into a head-kabob. It's called natural selection. You lose.
