High bypass turbofans don't really "consume" a body. Probably lots of chunks chopped and scattered


What exactly does "consumed" mean if not: "lots of (body) chunks chopped and scattered"?

Based on username...


My presumption... Limbs were separated from the torso and maybe maybe not all entered the nacel. Whatever went in, was then tremendously chopped up by the outer fan blades. Being that it's a high bypass engine some solids might have passed through the bypass. Whatever went inside, towards the engine core, was further shredded by the rotating compressor vanes and stationary guide vanes. Depending on remaining moisture content this fine particulate and must was largely burned, but there's probably a lot of unburned "buildup" as the engine began to also disintegrate.

Plenty was burned since FD had to do the final extinguish on the engine fire.

I saw a small dog once get into I-45 in the Woodlands... 70mph SUV vs 10lb dog... There was a pink cloud of mist and not much else.

Agreed with everything you wrote. But if there was 1 word you had to use summarize your post, what's a better word to use than consumed? Everything I can come up with is, at best, synonymous.

Consumed was used in the OP so I ran with it.

Ingested?

More inhaled from the pressure gradient.

Not untrue, but still synonymous with consumed IMO.

I liked "consumed" but "choked on" probably works as well.

It's the right word to use, even if only partially consumed like the initial reports had. Some bozo claimed jet engines can't consume a body, but instead "chop and scatter" them as if that doesn't mean the same thing.

Twelve people injured? Five requiring hospitalization?

They evacuated and that usually leads to injuries

Kind of what I figured. Video showed many evacuated with their carry-ons, which didn't help.

Give him a break. If he doesn't want to defend his original post, let him walk it back.

The airport is like its own city out there. Doubt homeless people hang out there

I wonder how many investigation committees it will take the good leftist citizens of Denver to decide what runways are for?


Running. That's why they are called runways.

Just like driveways are made for driving and parkways are made for parking.
