A tragic incident unfolded at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport as a man lost his life after reportedly intentionally climbing into a running airplane engine. The victim, identified as an employee of a company operating at the airport, met his demise immediately upon entering the engine of a KLM passenger plane as it prepared for takeoff.

Witnesses aboard the Embraer 190 aircraft, scheduled for KLM’s Cityhopper service, described hearing a “hellish noise” emanating from the engine, followed by the emergence of smoke. Emergency services rushed to the scene after the harrowing event was reported around 3 p.m., prompting a massive response from fire trucks and ambulances.
