Also someone on the ground crew on New Year’s Eve pulled into the engine, though they apparently disregarded multiple warnings about clearance distance from the engine even after nearly getting knocked over by exhaust. I’m not sure how that sort of thing (disregarding multiple warnings & a near miss) can be prevented:

That was a different one, in Texas more recently. I have to wonder if the person was influenced in their choice of method by the relatively recent news of another dying the same way. In the end that of things, the method, probably doesn’t matter much.
