He is sucked to death by an airplane turbine on the runway: he missed the flight and ran to the aircraft to see his sick grandfather | International | News
He was so desperate to board the flight that he did not consider the consequences of his brazen act. He died atrociously: a plane turbine “swallowed him,” Noticius Telemundo reported on Tuesday, January 16, 2024.
The man was determined to do anything to get on the plane. He kicked the door, ran down some stairs, fell into the airport, got back up and started running across the tarmac towards the plane. The ending, as expected, is tragic.
A video shows the man in his desperation to get behind the plane. Many, on social networks, wonder how they let it go this far.
