pezmaker@programming.devtoOut of the loop@lemmy.world•What really happened with Kyler Efinger, (the guy that died inside a jet engine)?

5 months agoThose are rotating jet turbines. To my limited knowledge there’s no way to just stop them. They wind down even if they had turned them off. The very first article I found searching his name showed him approach a jet that was slowly moving across the tarmac, which obviously means the turbines were turning and not going to just immediately lock up if turned off.
I don’t even know that the pilots would’ve seen him from the footage I saw in the one article I looked at.
Classic case of know your audience. I don’t think this is going to be a particularly unpopular opinion here. I know my personal anecdote doesn’t mean everyone else agrees with me, but myself and most people I know with social media have dramatically backed off. I think if it weren’t for fb shoving strangers and paid content in my face, my feed would be dead. As it stands I only even log in for my bootleg weather guy’s posts.
