    I had never considered this a suicide option but honestly like decompression probably too fast to comprehend, but on the other hand, complete arseholes for doing it like that considering the cleanup. Some maintenance tech having to pull your teeth out of a turbine blade.

      “killed instantly after being pulled into a spinning jet turbine” which may be less painful than many other methods, and also slightly delaying and inconveniencing people who want to see the world burn.

      I think using nitrogen is a safer painless way, and less likely to go wrong.
