Kind of an old video, but thought this was pretty interesting. Just one of those "Wtf just happened?!" moments... :lol:

All I envision is a half dozen aerospace engineers sitting in a break room sipping redbulls as a full afterburner turbofan comes barrelling thru one wall and out the other :lol:

"Anybody catch the license plate number on that guy?"

That was.......AWESOME!

You can see the mounting bolts failing but the operator just get the heat on her. Maybe they were just asleep at the wheel but if I saw an engine like that move that much on the stand I would power down like yesterday. Nice find.

I don't know what it was about it I just couldn't stop laughing for hours. I think it's just the thought of where that thing probably ended up, and the thoughts of the people who saw it pass by. :lol:
