Mechanic sucked into 737 engine

A few months old, but can anybody confirm this? I've not heard of this type of incident before, especially unexpected for me as it was a major carrier.

Not only is it true but certain websites with a lower self-censorship threshold have published fairly detailed photographs of the immediate aftermath, and it's not pleasant.

They'd probably do more for the cause of educating ground personnel in the hazards, mind, than a couple of dozen training lectures.
