The fact that this is generally referred to as being “ingested” sketches me out ever so slightly, just like the word “degloved.”

Oh my god, I've never heard of degloving before and looked it up out of curiosity. That's horrifying, it means exactly what it sounds like it does.
I’ve been degloved - It’s not that bad. Now ingested is pretty final.
I am an engineer who works on turbofan engines, and the term ingestion is what whe use for all foreign objects entering the engine. That includes ice and birds too. Still an absolute tragedy.
blech
Apparently some people get sucked into jet engines twice. Enough that there's a medical code for Sucked into jet engine, subsequent encounter: https://www.aapc.com/codes/icd-10-codes/V97.33XD
Or, and hear me out, it could be that some medical coder was running on autopilot and put a subsequent encounter code in out of habit.
Subsequent encounter means you're seeing the doctor again for the same problem. So if you got sucked into a jet engine and lived somehow you'd probably be seeing the doctor a bunch of times, and the second doctor visit and all later visits would be encoded as "subsequent encounter"
I love weird icd 10 codes, my favorite is V91.07, burn due to water-skis on fire. Like has that ever actually happened? If so please post link, I must know.
Edna Mode wasn't kidding about those capes.
Another one? I don’t know why it’s happening multiple times this year. Is it common?
Happened in Alabama on New Year's Eve as well.
They have jets in Alabama?! Do they scare the locals?
Alabama has a federal reserve for rocket scientists & their whole ecosystem. There's a pretty neat safari you can go on where they've set up a bunch of enrichment toys and such for the rocket scientists to play on.
Apparently a number of alabamans are still terrified of the magical poop stealing water chair
Oh, that does not sound like a nice way to die.
Bizarre and gruesome, but probably totally painless.
If you get sucked in at 100mph, your body will completely pass through the blades faster than your brain can register pain.
Horrifying. Rest in peace.
... and pieces.
A source briefed directly on the case told the Guardian on Sunday that it appeared the worker had “intentionally stepped in front of the live engine” on the jet and that police were investigating that aspect. But the cause of the worker’s death hadn’t officially been determined on Sunday, and the source spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation into the case was still pending.
Could be any reason. Won't know until the investigation is finished.
Look, he totally meant for this to happen, nothing to see here folks.
This shit made me do a double take
That’s some Final Destination shit there
Article didn't say if there were passengers but can you imagine seeing this from your window seat?? I don't think I'd be able to process what I saw.
No matter what comes out this happens way too often
