I try to get local, but I caved once and got some Onyx Coffee Lab and let me tell you, that was some of the most underwhelming coffee I've had. They must have the good reddit bots because it seemed well recommended there and there wasn't a single blend of the five I tried that was better than what I can get locally (SE Michigan).

The one that is similar to the old Dunkin bags?

I haven't seen the video, but from your post it all sounds reasonable. Even at idle the safety zone in front of a turbine engine is probably 7+ feet.

Especially while turning you have to push the thrust up, so that distance can go up to like 10-15 feet, maybe even more depending on the engine.

Also, even if they saw him, which in the dark at an airport would be pretty hard to do, shutting the engine down takes time. And I don't mean you can't shut it off, I mean after you turn the switch off (Airbus at least) it takes at least 60 seconds for the engine to slow down to a speed that would only maim you, instead of kill you.
