Seen that viseo before and also heard other stories just like it. Unfortunately it not an uncommon occurence on carriers or at the airports. Also a lot of these guys live because forgein objects entering the compressors most of the time blow up the engine like this one did. My dad told me of an occurence on his carrier where this happened with an F-4. A fellow crewman saw him getting to close, and was reaching for him when he got sucked in. The guy grabbed his ankle as he went by. A ballpoint pen from his pocket took out the engine as he was being held in the engine compartment. Total damage? Some hearing loss in both ears and a wicked bruise on his ankle where his buddy was holding him.

Now I would think that the guy holding him would never have to buy another beer in his life, as the guy in the intake literally owes his life to that dude.
