OMG! Dead man trapped in plane’s engine!
A man has turned up dead after being apparently sucked into an aircraft’s engine.
The body of the Air India technician is still stuck in the plane’s engine, an official reportedly said.
The tragedy happened at the Mumbai airport, in India, on Wednesday.
Flight AI619 was preparing to travel from Mumbai to Hyderabad when the tragedy struck.
The incident happened when the jet was being pushed back for departure, Hindustan Times reports.
“An Air India technician died in a mishap during pushback of flight AI 619; the incident is being investigated,” Air India chief, Ashwani Lohani, said.
“We are deeply saddened and regret the tragic incident at Mumbai airport,” the official said.
An unnamed airport official is reported to have said this:
The body is still stuck in the engine, efforts are going on to retrieve it.
And Air India is already doing this:
At the moment, we are absolutely clueless on how this person was near the aircraft. Only an inquiry can establish whose negligence it was and whether the engine should have been switched on at that time.
Must be a terrible way to die..
