I didn't think the plane engines were powered up enough to actually pull in the ground crew when the plane is taxi-ing

Yup! When my dad worked at one airline, the first thing they did was show newbies a video of someone getting sucked into an engine so they understood the reason for all the safety protocols when engines are turned on. You're not supposed to go near those things until they're off-off. My dad had co-workers who wanted to get their work done early so sometimes they would approach the plane before the engines fully stopped. He was not about that life and would hang back.

There's a classic video of somebody getting pulled in and getting saved by his helmet.

It’s amazing the helmet was enough. Just imagining all these physics is terrifying

Jesus Christ, that's horrifying!
