Radiator fan blade stuck in radiator....? WTF

Ok so i was driving home from school today and all of a sudden i heard a bunch of clicking and rattling coming from my engine bay...the noise stop and all of a sudden my car started freaking out i was shaking like crap. i pulled over and looked under my car to find green radiator fluid gushing out of the bottom of my car....i popped the hood and didn't seem to see anything till i noticed one of my fan blades was missing i looked in the crack between the fan and the radiator and there was the other blade how the crap did this happen

Dang!...that sucks man.
Take it immediately to for warranty work.
I'm gonna check my evo for any signs of cracked fan blades before that sh*t happens.

Were you wrenching any thing latley and drop a socket or rachet an not relize it.

That sucks man I feel your pain. Good luck on the warrenty though my guess is they are never going to cover it with your mods and they'll just say something got in there or some BS.

I posted a thread a long time ago about this happening to me. I had a blade get pushed into my radiator and broke all the others and riddled my radiator with holes. All I have to say is its time for an upgrade. I got the KOYO. Crazy stuff thats for sure.
