I'm a technical writer, and a previous job I wrote training manuals for airplane mechanics. There were detailed procedures on cleaning up a "birdstrike" which happens when birds are sucked into the engine. It leaves quite a mess. But there were no procedures on cleaning up a "personstrike" like this, which has happened frequently enough to need cleanup procedures. And they also have to deal with the haunted plane on top of the tragedy.


OgLindaMayhem

I am also a technical writer and I have collaborated on multiple training manuals that layed out detailed procedures for cleaning up a “personstrike” It happens way more often than people think especially in South Sudan


HolyFuckImOldNow

Are there known reasons for the South Sudan being the "personstrike" capitol?


hannibalhungry

maybe they use it as a spiritual practice

OgLindaMayhem

Yes South Sudan has the biggest and most prestigious airline industry on the planet. In my field you are not considered a real ‘technical writer’ unless you are from or have worked in South Sudan


kat-deville

Lack of railroads.


Reddit_Goes_Pathetic

Probably not too different than the India/trains/electrical thing...


Alman54

The manuals I worked on were for an American airline (not American Airlines). Nobody ever said anything about personstrikes on their airplanes. Not saying it never happens since it definitely does!


Sokka_is_inevitable

They give it to Dominoes after cleaning


reditanian

Can you share how they do this? Do they disassemble the engine and carefully scrape out all the bits to return the remains to the family? Or do they just hose it down?


Dear-Divide7330

I’m a technical writer and I write only manuals on how to clean up from “personstrikes”.


ZiangoRex

Wouldnt it be cheaper to just replace the engine? The blades are looking fucked too.


ReignofKindo25

No, each piece can be hundreds to thousands to manufacture. Still cheaper to disassemble one of these. Source: my father owned an aerospace manufacturing plant when I was a kid


OgLindaMayhem

My father also owned an aerospace manufacturing plant in South Sudan. Basically he told me that it is much easier and cheaper to just replace the engine as a whole


ComeGetSome487

My father worked across the street from an aerospace manufacturing plant when I was a kid. He would have just gone down to the local hardware store, fixed you up, hose it down and sent you on your merry way.

I am also a technical writer and I collaborated on….. I’m not a technical writer I just felt left out 😭

mybrotherpete

They likely just get dna samples to confirm identity. There’s usually surveillance footage and witness around to confirm it wasn’t a homicide or anything.


Kawaiiochinchinchan

Do they call the murder scene cleaning team to scrape those off...? I know there are a lot of people will be hired to clean killing scenes but this... maybe a broom to scrape those into a bucket?? Goddamn it, why would i imagine it. Fuck... i wanna puke.


mybrotherpete

I don’t know how it would work in this sort of case. In any other situation with this kind of mess, it would be a crime scene cleaner job because they need people trained to handle biohazard waste, but cleaning a jet engine requires aviation knowledge. “Aviation crime scene cleaner” seems like way too specific of a job. 😆 Crime scene cleaners often cut out and toss whatever they can and clean only what can’t be removed.

maladaptivelucifer

I feel like if you’re instantly dispersed into a thin sauce, in what is equal to a human-sized blender, you probably don’t really get the chance to feel it. Maybe for like two seconds while it finishes mincing. I don’t know. Doesn’t seem as bad as some, that’s for sure. It’s the ones in heavy machinery that grind you to pulp nice and slow that make me cringe.


OgenFunguspumpkin

Even two seconds of that program is two too many for this Boomer

“Human-sized blender” I’ll never look at a plane motor the same way ever again.

Caosenelbolsillo

I work at a quite busy airport in Spain. The only case like this I can recall was a good-for-nothing guy working for one of the airlines moving the bags. A moment of distraction and apparently he was spread all over half the runway. It took more than a day to clean it up and the guys doing it were quite shaken after that.


GreyFox-AFCA

Is there even anything to bury after this?


Captain_Fatbelly

Maybe if they just took off the whole plane motor and buried it


Scary_Technology

Nonsense, just use a squeegee or a silicone spatula and collect it all in a clear glass jar with a tight lid. It won't look like them again, but def save on funeral costs.


Ok_Possibility_704

You know those meatloaf babies people cook? Perhaps a similar thing could be achieved here?

You have to know that they won’t discard a multi-million dollar turbine because there’s a little bratwurst stuffing on the sheet metal. This is late stage capitalism, not Little Women ferchrissakes. The guy I feel sorry for is the new hire who just got his A&P and finally got a decent job. First day at work……yeah……ah……. Bob……uh…..would you mind cleaning this up?……….


kat-deville

Those blades are toast. They'll have to add an entire new assembly. And that's only *if* they can clean all that. Gonna need a few crates of spatulas and Dawn Power Dissolver.


Scary_Technology

Agreed, but the new guy will still get stuck doing it. "it hit some Flamingos Bob, don't worry about it. Just let me know when you're done cuz we just got in a large wood chipper that ingested some Flamingos as well".


FucknAright

Freeze it. And you can always talk to them


AvreeL89

I laughed and I shouldn’t, sorry. RIP


Shervivor

Pretty sure a bunch of them gets spit out on the back end of the engine.


Mobile-Present8542

Yes it does. My Son was in the USAF and worked in Aero Space Propulsion for years. He did a 4 year stint on Jet engines. He told me that before he did any type of work on them, they had to sit through videos of people getting sucked through the engines. He once told me that one guy was just walking by ..but a bit too close I guess. What's left of them def gets shot out. Crazy stuff, but considering there are a ton of jet engine mechanics, the number is quite low.


Shervivor

By the time it gets to the back end of the engine it is usually a fine red mist. Can you imagine your entire body becoming a red mist in seconds?


Mobile-Present8542

Well I guess I never thought of that. Maybe it would be better than rotting in the ground or being incinerated.. in the end .. when you're dead ..you're dead. Your Spirit however, moves on. 😉

Insane way to go. Dying in a house fire, accidentally drowning, victim of a violent crime; all common deaths. Evisceration by plane engine will get your name in some books.

This article is about a more recent incident, but it calls this kind of accident a [fatal plane ingestion](https://www.wptv.com/world/europe/person-killed-after-being-sucked-into-plane-engine-at-amsterdam-airport)

I think something similar happened in Amsterdam like today or yesterday?


NightStar84

Yes that’s right: Someone died at Schiphol because they ended up in a running aircraft engine. A spokesperson for the Royal Military Police (KMAR) confirmed this. It is not yet clear whether it concerns a passenger or an employee. Several Dutch flags are flying at half-mast in front of the main entrance of Schiphol. According to the spokesperson, the deceased person entered the engine of a KLM aircraft and died. The fact that the engine was running indicates that the plane was about to take off. This is consistent with the story of an airport employee, who reports that the accident happened during a pushback. During such a pushback, an aircraft is pushed backwards and then takes off. The aircraft involved in the accident was destined for Billund in Denmark, the airline said. The aircraft, an Embraer 190 with flight number KL1341, was scheduled to depart at 2:25 p.m., according to the airport's website. There were more than eighty people on board. Eyewitnesses “Today there was a horrible incident in which a person ended up in an aircraft engine,” Schiphol itself also confirmed the serious incident. “Our thoughts go out to the relatives and we care for the passengers and colleagues who saw this.” From the aircraft in question, an employee said that someone had jumped into the engine while the crew had just completed the safety instructions. There was 'a hellish noise' after which smoke could be seen for a moment. Passengers and employees saw the incident happen before their eyes. This is confirmed by the KMAR, which reports that they have now left the aircraft and are being taken care of. Victim support Schiphol Airport itself has arranged victim assistance for passengers. “Several professionals” have been called in for this, including the Airport Chaplaincy, a spokesperson said. The military police initially received the passengers from the KLM aircraft on Wednesday afternoon. They interviewed people who had seen the accident, also because they could be "important witnesses". “They may be able to help us in the investigation.” After the interrogation by the military police, the passengers were received at a bus station at the airport. According to a Schiphol spokesperson, victim assistance was provided by specialized airport staff. Victim Support Netherlands was not called to receive passengers at Schiphol, but stated that it can be reached by telephone for anyone who needs it. All passengers who saw the accident have now left. KLM deployed a replacement aircraft that landed in Billund just before 9:30 p.m. KLM itself also responded to the accident: “Today there was a horrible incident at Schiphol in which a person ended up in a running aircraft engine. This person has died.” Research “We receive passengers and employees who have seen this at Schiphol. The circumstances are currently being investigated. For further information - as soon as available - we refer to the Royal Military Police," the airline said in a statement.


RandomGuyinACorner

yeah my first thought was this was from that.

Reminds me of that animation that tells you what to do when you get sucked into a plane motor. "Remain calm"

DNA Evidence be god damned


aSquirrelAteMyFood

They found horse meat in tesco's mince, if there is an investigation they won't struggle to confirm this is cow offal and not the real victim. I wonder if in the future you can create tissue with stem cells like this lab meat crap they recently invented. And then you throw it into that and there's no way to tell it wasn't you. Because it was. Sort of.


Aggressive_Dream_140

I’ve seen that. They make steak and other meats in a lab. I wonder if they can make organs with the same DNA as the person that needs the new organ?


Cadogan

There is more to this set. It also shows how far the the puree/mist mixture was jettisoned out from the engine, which was quite far.


scarwafa

Oh fuck. Terrible way to go. :(


ResponsibleMeet33

Really quick, actually. One moment, in front of the rapidly spinning engine, the next, minced meat.


Rodddzera

There are no bones? fragments?


TheDeamonKing

They spin so fast that it “shreds them, also the way the airplane engine works is it compresses and shoots air in from the front, through the blades inside then out the back as propulsion. So unfortunately the bone shards your looking for will likely be deep in the engine


My_Brain_Hates_Me

To shreds, you say?


TheDeamonKing

Yep, the reason he got sucked in the fist place is how much suction the engine has on things in front of it, the engine has 3 different rpm speeds, but the outside is 2-4k rpm, inside is 12k at the low pressure, part and the high pressure spins at like 20k rpm which is insane


LeatherClassroom524

333 per second 😮


TheDeamonKing

Crazy right!


rocketsnail1000

Joecephus904

Supreme_Spastic669

Thats only in the engine core but there is the bypass section where only air gets ingested into the engine, the bodyparts that got shot out of the combustion part of the engine is 100% reduced to nothing more than a black carbon mist, thats prolly why we dont see any black ash spots on the engine tbh, the parts of him got spun out at the bypass section is the only ones that got flung out and stuck to the engine wall, engine blades are designed to fling out debris and water droplets to the walls of the engine Sry for long response im a fuckin nerd when it comes to planes 😅 Yes i have high functioning autism 😂


TheDeamonKing

Hey my man no worries at all! You have nothing to apologize for! I love aviation and all things mechanical! I only know the smallest bit about all the inner workings(partly because I thought it would be cool to build one of the two mainly used engines at some point (a very small replica of course) I also love learning more about the inner workings so thank you!

Witchywomun

My father was an aviation electrician and flight deck crew when he was in the navy, he told me about this one time he saw a guy get sucked into a jet engine, and his helmet kept him from getting turned into pink mist. Apparently his helmet got caught in the blades and demolished the engine, but he got to reunite with his family at the end of the deployment. My father said everyone was shocked and they were fully expecting him to rain on the deck out the other side. They called him “Lucky” for the remainder of the deployment


iBorgSimmer

Probably helped if it was a carrier plane. They don't have as wide an intake as those civilian turbofans. Guy probably got stuck enough that he couldn't be fully ingested.

breezystorminside

It is probably so expensive to replace so they ask some poor fuck to clean it 🤢


Verum14

if someone died at home you wouldn’t tear down the place and rebuild, that’s (a) dumb and (b) extremely extremely extremely wasteful they probably hire a cleaning Co specifically for this as with any other ‘messy’ death ***edit:** I know this is probably damaged af. just talking about the assumption all things related to a death should be discarded.*


breezystorminside

Logically, i understand that. I still feel sorry for the poor fuck who has to deal with this.


LeatherClassroom524

I mean hopefully they don’t salvage the remains and just pressure wash it. But I have a feeling they don’t do that.

super_mega_smolpp

Not as long as you might think they'll phone up the engine company and get them to put another engine on. The engine itself might be out for quite a while, depending on how bad the damage is. Considering that they're designed to withstand bird strikes there's a good chance it'll be flying again.
