- noja 7y agoThose are the same photos.
- gota 7y agoThose metal bits look big enough to kill a person. I mean, anything havier than a marble falling from high enough will do a lot of damage, right?
- gesman 7y agoIf thing is small and heavy - yes. If thing has a surface to it - it could fall significantly slower. That said anything-metal falling from the sky is dangerous.
- dmurray 7y agoAnything with enough power to smash a hole right through a car windscreen (as in the second picture) can kill you, definitely.
- refurb 7y agoI’m being pedantic here, but there are exceptions to that rule. In SF, it’s common for car thieves to break windows using a small chip (size of a pencil eraser) of ceramic from a spark plug. The ceramic is super hard but light weight and can shatter a window easily.[1] being hit by it would barely register. [1] https://youtu.be/llu-ckEe5cQ https://youtu.be/llu-ckEe5cQ

- hinkley 7y agoMy first car had a lovely, circular radiator repair job that was exactly the diameter of the bolts on the fan blade. It must have thrown a bolt at some point. The placement of the dents on all the fins reminds me a bit of that. Looks to me like something broke off, got wedged under one of those stabilizers, smacking the hell out of every single fin on the way before it was finally thrown clear.
- ctack 7y agoGreat to see the image of the turbines on the plane afterwards.
