Man sucked into A-6 Intruder jet engine intake

That's why ALL personnel on deck wear high impact resistant helmets. Helmet saved his life. WEAR A HELMET KIDDIES.

holy shit how did he live

Inlet guide vanes would on the P&W J52 would stop him before he hit the compressor blades. Such vanes are used in most engines on small military aircraft. The flames out the rear are caused by the air to fuel ratio getting screwed up. (and perhaps something getting sucked through) Still, that must be some impact. He's lucky to be alive.

holy fuck lucky

how did he possibly survive the turbine compressor blades? i would have thought he would have been vapourised

He shouldn't have been vaporized. He should have been cut to pieces by the turbines.

This is a joke right?? how did he survived !!!!

it's not a joke it is real and I watched it on World's most amazing videos a few years ago

Oke

he survived? i can't believe
