Person dies after falling into engine of departing passenger jet at Amsterdam airport
A person died Wednesday after falling into the spinning turbine blades of a departing passenger jet at Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport, officials said.
The death occurred on the apron outside the busy hub’s terminal as a KLM flight was ready to depart for Billund in Denmark.
“An… incident took place at Schiphol today during which a person ended up in a running aircraft engine,” Dutch flagship carrier KLM said in a statement.
30-year-old man died after he climbed into a plane engine at Salt Lake City International Airport.
Last June, a 27-year-old airport employee died after being sucked into a passenger plane engine in San Antonio, Texas.
An airline worker died in December 2022 after being sucked into a plane’s engine after an American Eagle flight from Dallas landed at Montgomery Regional Airport in Alabama.
