I work on smaller turboprop engines, but from what I've seen an engine like that is typically "reduced to spares". There are still some valuable parts that may have survived.

Not really catastrophic in mechanical terms, but this did cost me over 4 grand to replace all the valves and associated hardware for my 2001 BMW 330i motor after the "money shift". So financially it was catastrophic to me... This is with the cams removed.  Click here for the full 2016x1344 image.  Click here for the full 2016x1344 image.

^ from working at FedEx I know that type of container is called an LD3, if that helps any. Stacking them with freight is a bitch unless you're three feet tall. The over-arching term for the air freight containers is "ULD - Unit Load Device". I prefer the AMJ's myself. Nice big box. Vanagoon fucked around with this message at 02:22 on Nov 12, 2009 |

Thanks, from a quick Google search it seems the empty weight of an LD3 container is 85 kg or about 187 pounds. After seeing some pretty gory pictures of a mechanic who was unfortunately a lot smaller than the engine intake, I can see how something like that could get lifted into the air.

One night a driver took a turn a little too close when coming inside, hit a bollard with the corner of the first pallet and ripped the hitch out of the tug. Our boss came out like "BOY YOU BETTER RUN AWAY BEFORE THEY FIRE YOUR rear end FOR ALMOST DROPPING A CAN". Tug driver booked it out of there and we stole the cans for our flight haha. Apparently in the good ol' days, the tugs had absolutely no governers on them and the drivers would get them up to like 80-90mph

I have seen someone kind of almost lose one, but still have one end up on the dolly, and all the ramp agents all come running from everywhere, 10 guys, and push it back up on the dolly and move along like nothing happened. They would say to me "You didn't see that!!" and I'd be like "blink blink see what? what the gently caress are you talking about, I didn't see anything!". You're supposed to empty out a dropped can and load the stuff into a new one, but that makes everyone late. Push that big bitch back up there and go! I am an ex-hub-wage-slave BTW. I will agree that the Tugs are strong as gently caress. Think of this, it's the famous for being unbreakable Ford 300cid I6 in a solid steel body with a big fuckoff sheild on the front and a big rail down one side. It's basically made of distilled badass and angry. They are awesome. here; https://www.aerospecialties.com/productinfo/tractors/tugincMA.php You can basically just run into poo poo so hard that you stall it, but you can just start it back up and keep going. Tugs are made of the strong. Gotta love the Jason-mask grille too. You could push my car and your car and a bus and every drat thing else out of the way with a Tug. gently caress Yeah. Late in my experience at FedEx they were rolling out these slow rear end diesel tugs. Love the way they sounded, but boy were they dog rear end slowww.

Ah, yes, I remember it was called dropping a can now. Been quite a while. I dropped a few in my days. I always remembered them telling me that you were pretty much escorted out if you dropped one but never saw anything happen to anyone. I did see a guy drop one off of the loaders by the plane. From the second deck of a DC10. He climbed down, threw his badge at his manager, and started walking home.

Speaking of tugs, TUGBOATS have an excellent failure mode http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEfUblSDzww This guy doesn't crash but I'm sure he poo poo his pants for a couple minutes straight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ignxHHhtA4I Bigger boat takes poo poo on smaller boat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3WveEZykJ8 And just for fun, riding a bike on a tug boat doing donuts! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEIK_IpwV58 Ok, so not so much mechanical failure as just failure, hope that is ok

Speaking of people getting fired: Is anyone here who saw them set a 727 down on it's rear end end some years ago? I dont remember exactly what date, or even year, it was. This was at the MEM hub. The story I heard was the maintenance tards took the tailstand/aft stairs up/away with some cans still in the back of the plane (??) and down she went. I have no idea how to google for this but I saw it with my own eyes, a 727 squatting it's back end down against the ground with the nose up in the air. This happened mid 2000's. I was working in the old hub and the plane in question was parked up close to the "auto hub" on the other side of the ramp - Didn't get a thing done that night, too busy gawking. Did they keep it out of the news completely?
