It's a real engine with something catastrophic BUT it's fake news in the true sense of that. This set of photos has been around for more than 7 years and labeled all over the world as tourists, passengers or mechanics.

Definitely NOT Pakistan in august 2017

And don't forget to reduce them in filesize, or they may not upload onto the site !

If you want a terrific example of the danger zone around a turbine engine, Google Continental 1515 El Paso. An engineer went through #2 engine. The photos are most definitely NSFW though...

The Continental 737 Captain at El Paso carried out instructions from the mechanic checking the engine, to raise the engine power to 70% for three minutes, for further testing - against airport directives.

 

The airport directive read - "Except for power-up associated with beginning taxi, engine power is restricted to idle RPM on one engine at a time for a maximum of five minutes, while on any parking or service apron areas, including the terminal ramp."

 

However, this directive was not disseminated to all the necessary personnel at the airport, nor to the flight crew.

 

DFW06FA056: Full Narrative

 

I must say I'm surprised that Boeing warn that the ingestion danger zone of a CFM-56 is a 13 foot (4 metre) radius directly in front of the engine. I would have expected the ingestion danger zone, out front, to be larger.

 

What is also surprising is the IDZ is also defined as being a further 5 feet (1.52M) down each side, behind the engine intake.
