"V97.33XA: Sucked into jet engine, initial encounter"

There's a fairly well known incident where a sailor was sucked into the intake of an A6 Intruder, and lived: https://youtu.be/AF55oyAJDBk

That happened to a F-16 crewchief at my base. He went to duck under the intake instead of walking around like he was supposed to, and the airflow grabbed him by the field jacket and pulled him in. He did not live.

Not everything that has happened once can have its own code. There must be things that happen more frequently that don't have their own code.

I wasn't seriously suggesting they should. Just noting it is possible to survive an "initial encounter". I wouldn't have guessed so had I not seen that prior.

"Initial encounter" means the first time seeing the medical professional and not the first time the accident happened.

Ahh, thanks...that makes sense. Still holds though. No coding an initial encounter if your first stop is a coroner.
