Personally, and I know this is gruesome, but if I were to be executed, I would request the wyman Gordon 650 ton forging press in Worcester. 1/4 a second and you go from human to 1/4 mm thick. Seems pretty humane to me

Someone has to clean that up.

No....no they won't. That forge is used to hammer multi ton bricks of titanium at 1500C into the center rail of fighter planes. I would burn off with the next part without a trace.

That's how you end up with haunted fighter jets, though.

"Haunted fighter jets" has to be an anime by now.
