I've done a few borescope inspections on bird-strike engines and i tel you it's not pretty when a 500g Seagul enters the gas path of a CFM56...

 That's what I would think too!!!! But I saw it with my own 2 eyes, about 50 times in a row.

i've seen a Prat&Witney 4000 at the Lufthansa Shop in Hamburg .. the engine was sitting there since a while after they started teardown.. cause no-one wanted to work on it and they had to find out what the legals had to say about it ..

the reason was that the engine came in with the remark FOD.. well everything seemed as if it was abird .. a huge one at that cause the fan, Booster and pretty much all the compressor were pretty much desintegrated (Fan Blade out, whole N1 System tumbled and tore up everything) .. well they found out it wasn't a bird but a mechanic who had been sucked in .. now that was a 96inch fan PW4000 and the ting was wrecked .. i find it hard to belief that a jet engine (albeit smaller fan and therfore stiffer blades) would continue running and even if so it would actually been flown without inspection.

Udie, I've seen that film in every GenFam aircraft class I've had in Chicago. Another words, ALOT.

The guy was not seriously hurt, and what you see coming out the tailpipe is his flashlight.

I thought it was highly amusing, concidering who's fault it was getting in that predicament.
