Engine test video

This may be inappropriate for this forum but I found the video interesting.

enginetest.mpeg

It shows just how powerful jet engines are and why you shouldn't be behind them when they power up.

I can't see it but can u tell us what happens?

This is all I get when I click the link

:O did someone get sucked into one??

If he is posting the same one I am thinking of, then it's a video of a fire truck (remote controlled) driving behind a jet parked with its engines on when a fire truck drives behind it and gets lifted 10 feet off the ground and blown a good 100-150 feet.

Ive seen about three different clips of that. Not a position I would want to be in.

ok, I found the one he tried posting...and "Unmature" is right, is the truck being tossed one.

That's the vid I posted.
The link was working at the time.

Thanks for posting an alternate link.

I don't know where clips might be but I am reminded of a BBC 2 'Top Gear' (car show) 'aerodynamics test' where two cars (a Citroen 2CV and a Ford Mondeo) are driven behind a BA Boeing 747 with its engines running. The mondeo was lifted up and thrown but the 2CV completely disentegrated, with the host Jeremy Clarkson commenting that it 'served it right'
