Poor Dude, was Sucked into an aircraft engine in Denver, co.

When I was homeless decades ago people used to sleep around the airport at night. Maybe he was one of those type of transits?

Hard to miss a jetliner with fully spooled up engines and landing lights on accelerating down the runway at you

That's a new one ...

I'm kinda surprised that the airport didn't have some kind of sensors that alerted when people have breached the perimeter fence.

Seems like a messy, but painless, way to exit.

Another failure of our society to address homelessness and mental illness.

I wish we could do better but I don't know how to even start ...
