Watch out for the intakes. Don’t worry there is an insurance code for that. 2017 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code V97.33XD : Sucked into jet engine, subsequent encounter.
We had a mechanic sucked into a CV-880 engine. Fortunately, it wasn’t a fan jet so he blocked enough air flow that the compressor stalled and spit him back out onto the ramp. He wasn’t even badly hurt. Wouldn’t be like that today, tho.
One of the worst single plane disaster for its time was when a jumbo was hit by a microburst in the flare path over a highway. Dallas, Fire & Ice, anyone remember?

We’ll be passing over route 192 in about 3 minutes. Attach a tow line and we’ll get you there in a jif.

I heard of an airport where the GPS’s are guiding cars onto the runways.

These days the guy’s usually do listen to the GPS who gets them on the tarmac anyways.
