Oh yeah....it's the first picture we see when we do MRI training. GE has this safety video where, in one part, they throw a wrench at a cement block in the magnet and it demolishes it. It's very dangerous and very strong!!! If someone was in the magnet at the time they would mostly likely be killed or severly hurt...it's good that no one was inside at the time.

What was the urban legend?

A boy was actually killed by being struck by an oxygen canister that was sucked into the MRI.
