I know. There was a news sometime ago, that a service engineer was trying to work on the aircraft fans and motors...I mean servicing. Because of the tight schedule, the pilots did not want to wait and so started the engine, effectively drawing the engineer in, and the fan shredded him into pieces.

I hope the hawk recovers. He must have been well and truly stuck.

The poor hawk must have been very tightly wedged in there, and it appears it took some effort to get it out. It is good that it will recover, and be returned to the wild.

The hawk is lucky to be alive according to the persons who saw what happened.
