Tragedy at the airport: a man died after falling into the pilot's engine

An unusual incident that turned into a real tragedy and could terrify any human imagination occurred in Italy. At the airport of the city of Bergamo, a man fleeing from the police accidentally ended up on the runway and was sucked in by the rotating engine of a moving passenger plane. This was reported by Corriere della Sera.

According to the information, the tragedy occurred in the early hours of the morning. The unidentified man, trying to escape from the police pursuit, abandoned his personal car and entered the meeting area located on the first floor of Bergamo airport. There, violating the security system, he broke through special doors and entered the baggage handling area.

At that moment, a large passenger aircraft was preparing for takeoff and moving toward departure. The man ran onto the runway in front of the approaching plane, and at that exact moment, the huge rotating blades of the engine pulled him in. Within a few seconds, the man died.

Although the aircraft pilots lost control, they managed to stop the movement immediately in accordance with emergency protocol. However, the incident caused a major stir not only in the city but throughout the national media. Police, emergency services, and airport authorities arrived at the scene.

At present, the police are working to identify the man involved in the incident, why he was fleeing, and how he managed to bypass security barriers. The Bergamo airport administration has announced a separate internal investigation regarding possible flaws in the security system.

The airport was temporarily closed, and several flights were delayed or canceled. This caused significant inconvenience among international passengers. Witnesses, shocked by the event, described it as “a horror we have never seen before.”

Aviation safety experts emphasize that such situations occur extremely rarely. However, this incident once again highlights the need to further strengthen security measures. According to experts, the presence of such an open opportunity in any air traffic hub indicates a serious system flaw.

It is noted that this incident completely disrupted road traffic and airport operations. The public and experts are demanding a thorough investigation to determine how this tragedy occurred.

Losses of this kind are never easily accepted — neither by children, nor by family, society, or humanity as a whole. Especially in an era when modern security technologies exist. This incident once again showed how fragile human life is, and that every step in air operations must be under control. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
