Aviation death and 10 responses with out knee jerk clot shot statement.

Well the clot shot has been known to dull your senses so you can't see or hear as well as the purebloods.

I was a ramp worker at Logan Airport during some of the 1980s. It was always stressed to us to keep away from airplane engines when the plane was started up.

The painted spiral exists for a reason - so a ground crew member can tell if the engine is running.

Yes, but at 10:30 PM, I wonder how visible it was, and if it would have helped. It seems like many industries can't hire enough staff, putting additional workload on the existing ones, and forcing companies to hire very green staff.

I was on a 737 that ingested a bird of some sort of bird while in flight.

The flight had to make an emergency landing

After a man in China was sucked into an engine.

Caution -- very graphic.

Hard to get those cages around the engine while the plane is moving.

Delta Flight 1111 was taxiing to the gate ...

Re: Unifi proud to offer jobs to non-natives.

That sounds like a contributing factor. The Replacement Americans aren't used to first world technology.

“...a ground worker.”

I’d say he was more likely puréed.

Oh wow, I worked at JFK airport during the 80s, I use to marshall in the planes for Fedex - well back then it was called Federal Express, and my God, I absolutely froze my ass off. Logan must have been even colder.

The same day the Challenger Space shuttle blew up Jan. 28th 1986, we crashed a Fedex plane into a El Al Loader lifter ripping off the edge of the wing. For some reason while trying to bring the plane in, this snow storm came out of nowhere and we couldn’t see that El Al had parked their loader too far out on the ramp and RIIIIIP. I wasnt marshalling the plane at the time, but I didn’t work there much longer. The pilot went absolutely ballistic, but all I remember about that job was the cold. Even with that insulated padded overall suit they gave us I froze.

DEI employee. More on the way. In Tampa they are building a simulator so the illegals and Puerto Ricans can begin to train to fly aircraft without ever having to have been in the military and actually done so. So much of flying has now been relegated to computers. No more navigators. They call them “STAR” employees, stands for “Special Training Alternative Route” they are primarily Hispanic Latino women who look like men.

Yes but the photos look like it was basically at the gate - not that an engine runup cage would have worked.
