Some mechanic downstairs in the hangar got his arm caught in a Krugar Flap on one of our 737's and he got his hand crushed. Sorry, no pictures (thought that would be rude considering he was in excruciating pain). 4/26/2008 2:41:07 PM |

Update to mechanic's plight: He will have to go to physical therapy before he gets full use of his hand back. Also, interesting note, they couldn't immediately release his hand from the flaps because they had to reactivate the hydraulics which had to go through the entire cycle again. His arm and hand were caught in the flap for at least 5 minutes (I only saw the result when he was being worked on by the EMS). 4/29/2008 9:46:55 AM |
