Man Dies After Being Sucked Into Jet Engine At Milan Airport
A guy was’sucked into a plane engine’ prior to takeoff, resulting in his terrible death at an Italian airport.
According to reports, the unidentified 35-year-old victim boarded the escape at Milan Bergamo Airport in Italy this morning (July 8) when the catastrophe occurred.
Before showing up at the airport at around 10 a.m. local time, the man had driven to the terminal, according to local publication Bergamo News.
He allegedly escaped via a restricted area and was on the runway’s tarmac when a jet turbofan sucked him into the engine.

Since then, authorities have determined that the man was neither an employee or passenger who was supposed to be aboard an aeroplane at the time of the event.
The incident occurred when the Volotea Airbus A319, bound for Asturias, Spain, was getting ready to take off.
According to a statement provided to the outlet by Sacbo, the airport’s management organisation, the “incident occurred on the taxiway” and is currently “being investigated by police.”
Airliner Voltea also posted in a statement on Twitter, writing, “We regret to confirm flight V73511 from BGY-OVD was involved in an incident at Milan-Bergamo Airport at 10:35h.”
“One person not onboard and not affiliated with the company was seriously injured.”
The airline also confirmed there were no further injuries, adding, “All 154 passengers and 6 crew are safe. A new flight is scheduled for 15:55.”
After seeing the terrible event, it has also stated that it is providing psychological support to the passengers and staff.
While other jets were diverted to other airports while emergency personnel responded to the area, the tragedy grounded all other flights at the Italian airport until lunchtime.
Up to 19 flights were grounded as a result, according to flight tracking agencies.
Lombardy Airports Association also said on Twitter: “Traffic to and from #orio #Bgy is suspended due to a serious issue on the apron. Possible delays, diversions, and cancellations throughout the morning. Updates will follow.”
To rescue the victim’s body, police officers were assisted by firefighters, other ground personnel, and experts from the Scientific Unit of the Bergamo Police Headquarters.
According to the Daily Mail, the jet’s engines can spin at around 15,000 revolutions per minute. At the time, it was doing a “pushback” manoeuvre to get away from parking spaces.
According to The Express, the police and Italy’s civil aviation authority are currently in charge of the incident’s inquiry, with a primary focus on how the sufferer got to the runaway’s tarmac.
