Air Compressor; What Happened?

Posted by Johnski on February 27, 2004 at 23:27:21 from (24.218.168.188):

I have a tow behind air compressor at work that shattered the fan blade taking out the oil cooler and radiator. It has a JD (it's brown) 4 cyl diesel and a screw type compressor. This happened about a year ago and I just found out the whole story. It seems that one of my guys decided to blow out the air filter on the compressor inlet while it was running then he stuck the air hose into the inlet, that was followed immediatly by the fan blade exploding. Lucky no one hurt. Any theories about why this happened?
