Aircraft operated by KLM was preparing to depart when incident occurred at busy Amsterdam hub
A person has died after falling into the spinning turbine blades of a departing passenger jet at Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport.
The death occurred on the apron outside the busy hub’s terminal as a KLM flight was preparing to depart for Billund in Denmark.
“A fatal incident took place at Schiphol today during which a person ended up in a running aircraft engine,” the Dutch flag carrier, KLM, said in a statement. “Sadly the person has died.” The victim has not yet been named.
How does someone fall into a running Turbine?
More than likely they got sucked in. That can and has happened.
That sucks
I don’t know if your comment is a pun or not
Sorry for the mispunderstanding 😇
When it was reported on the radio news yesterday they said “jumped into the engine”. I cannot find anything else to confirm if that’s true. Either way it’s horrific.
Was it a boeing plane ?
The aircraft involved is a short-haul Embraer jet used by KLM’s Cityhopper service
If its a boeing they will put it in the headline for more clicks
