Sir Dumb of Azz out wandering around on a runway. Gets squashed like a bug by a jet. And its reads like a tragedy the crew has to endure now???
Fugg they got a kill now. Own it with pride. Spray paint a kill mark on the nose of the plane. Something that looks like a bum pushing a full of schit shopping cart around.
makes you appreciate how professional, cool, calm, and collective our sailors are working on a flight deck playing dodge ball with 55,000lbs of jet out to kill them....every day every night for 8 months at a time on a pitching deck.....for peasant wages.

Pugs - thanks for the first-hand account. It is always good to hear the story from someone who was a witness.
Agree with the thanks to Pugs.. Intruder (or mos 1-2 seater military aircraft probably have a different intake configuration... Hence the visible fan blades on 737...
But I am no A&p expert..

If it weren't a suicide, it just goes to show ya when its your time to go, its time.

My guess is that his kinfolk gonna get some munny...
After they sue the Austin Airport, Airport police, and SW Airlines, for allowing his dumb ass to slip through security and suicide by jetliner in front of God and everyone.
It looked like he hit the side of the cowling. I doubt he was ingested.
Another time, another place.
Bit of hyperbole there. I was there that night and saw it happen live from my chair in ready one. No one had any clue he'd gone down the intake until he fell out on the deck. Cat 3 is dark as all get out and when the motor FOD'ed everyone's night vision was shot. I doubt he would have made it down to the compressor, the bullet nose on the J52P408 doesn't leave much space but he was sure deaf on TR-TV that next night.
Apparently (from a SWA guy) the Austin guy got hit right after the nose gear came down on landing. Gotta feels bad for the crew. The guy on the runway, meh, he had to know he was there and it's not like a 737 doesn't have 1.3 gigwatts of landing lights.
You really do respect the guys who dodge in-and-out and around Navy carrier planes. One distraction or moment of absent mindedness and it's over.
