interesting story.....
a airline mechanic from Frontier airlines (an airline i fly to Colorado all ze time) threw an object into a jet engine that was ON.......in fact the plane was pulling out of the jetway to taxi and take off......
his excuse.....the plane was NOT safe to fly, as a passanger i think i would be grateful for this.....because if he did this, there must be a reason, unless they find later he's WACKO......ehhehe
anyway......interesting story i'm gonna follow

Any mechanic with half a brain wouldn't toss anything into a running engine. Especially if there's people inside the plane. As a passenger, you would be thankful nothing caught fire.

good point!!
however do you wonder WHY he would do it, i mean he prolly knows the consequences of his actions, being an airline mechanic.....he must have really thought the plane woulda dropped outta the sky.
i've not been on a plane yet, where parts flew off, but friends of mine have......i can only imagine how scary that is.

"Corydon Van Dyke Cochran, 44, allegedly threw a rubber wheel chock into the running engine of a Boeing 737 after deciding that was the only way to prevent Frontier flight 136 from taking off on New Year's Day."
in short, he thought a repair wasn't done right and the flight wasn't safe to operate

if he wasn't the one that signed off the aircraft to push, then that is incorrect.
NEVER EVER trust the news media when it comes to aviation, that is the only thing I know of when watching the news about a plane incident/crash, turn off the tv right away.
This kind of action though is crazy, and there is lots of stuff the mx worker could have done to make the plane go tech and delay its pushback.
this was the WORST idea.

btw: figure a new CFM-56 engine and time to swap the old one out, on a 737-300, to run about $2.0 million
