When I was in a Navy school 20 years ago, we were shown a high speed video of a gas turbine which exploded when a 1/4" nut was dropped into the intake. We called it "Shake and Bake video", does anyone have a copy of it? I'd like to show it to my workmates so they'll understand the dangers of working on turbines. They think it is just like working on diesels

I saw the same video when I was in the Air force about 40 years ago. Have you tried looking on the Web? It's surprising what's available out there.
