There is a video of it floating around for the morbidly curious. I won't link it here. It is very NSFL. I was accidently shown it while scrolling instagram and wish I hadn't seen it.

He is able to talk, you can make out his words, but he is clearly choking or being strangled. He was fully sucked into the machine. There was a very strong guy trying with everything to pull him out. He made some pretty sad and harrowing words when he realized he wasn't going to make it. Again, the video is out there if you really want to see it. I do NOT recommend it though.

Here's a well known and SFW training video about MRI magnets. It'll put the problem into perspective without needing eye-bleach.

That seems to be very strong. What's the effect of this type of magnetic field on the iron in our blood?

The video is a fake.

Or real, but a different situation? It feels kinda hard to do a fake MRI setup like that?

I've seen a lot of gruesome stuff so I'm not bothered by that, but curious how someone got a camera, presumably with ferrous parts, in there without it also getting pulled into the magnet.

Phones now days don't have a lot of ferrous stuff in them they are pretty much all battery, copper, silicon, glass, plastic and maybe aluminum. Your keys probably have more steel on them than your phone.

People have gone in MRIs with phones with no adverse effects, except maybe damaged speakers. It's more likely that the MRI is going to damage the electronics than it will physically rip it off you.

It's all about the amount of ferrous material involved. It can take your keys of your pocket, but I doubt you can't peel them of it.
