A worker at San Antonio’s international airport died after being sucked into a jet’s engine late on Friday, officials said.
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?
Apparently a number of alabamans are still terrified of the magical poop stealing water chair
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.
The fact that this is generally referred to as being “ingested” sketches me out ever so slightly, just like the word “degloved.”

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.
