    737 a killer?

    The 737 holds a somewhat grisly title due to the closeness of its engines to the ground. Jet engines don't just produce thrust, they also produce a great deal of suction at the front end. Careless ground crew workers walking in front of running 737 engines have been sucked in. Most of them didn't survive, and the '37 has gained a reputation as a killer. Though the number of people ingested is actually quite low given the decades this this aircraft has been in service.
