In a heart-wrenching incident at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, a man lost his life after entering a running aircraft engine. The airline involved released a statement expressing their sadness for the unfortunate event.

The unidentified individual tragically passed away during the incident, prompting the airline to extend support to the passengers and employees who witnessed the shocking ordeal. The details surrounding the man's identity and his connection to either the airline or the airport remain unclear.

The Dutch Royal Military Police, investigating the incident, confirmed that it was determined to be a case of suicide. While the deceased man has been identified, no further information has been released.

An employee who witnessed the incident described the terrifying moment when the man entered the engine immediately after the completion of safety checks. A cacophony of noise followed by smoke emanating from the aircraft further fueled the chaos and panic.

Marjan Rintel, the CEO of KLM, expressed her condolences in a post on social media, offering support to the family and loved ones of the deceased, as well as to all those who were present during the distressing accident.

This incident is not the first of its kind. In January, a similar tragedy occurred at Salt Lake City airport, where a 30-year-old man lost his life after climbing inside the engine of a Delta Air Lines plane. Security-camera footage revealed his attempts to open locked doors in the terminal before dashing across the tarmac.

Incidents involving employees are sadly not unheard of either. Last year, in June, a ground worker was tragically sucked into the engine of a Delta plane, resulting in his demise. And in January of the same year, an American Airlines employee suffered a fatal accident when she was "ingested into the engine" of an Embraer E170.

The aviation industry faces profound challenges in maintaining safety and security in the face of such incidents. Authorities must continue to strengthen protocols and implement strict measures to prevent similar tragedies from happening in the future.
