News sources appear to be lying in the worst scenario, or distorting and confusing you, in the best scenario …

Security footage on YouTube shows him illegally approaching a plane that was getting started to move on the runway… then cuts for some mysterious secret reason… The plane was only “taxxiing” (slowly turning itself) on the tarmac…

People claim to be close to the incident say he was sucked in the turbines (not “snuck in”)… others say he was sucked in but wasn’t chopped because a protruding part stopped his body from getting deeper…Fact we know for sure is he died in the end…

So i am only concerned by one thing, that even AI cannot give me a straight answer… Why didn’t the pilots stop the engine when they saw him?

    uh what? Why would you think AI would ever give you more straight answer?

    If you own an electric fan, then you know that “turning it off” doesn’t mean that its blades are going to stop immediately.

    Now, imagine an airplane engine that is capable of moving a “bus full of people.”

    Yes, I know engines aren’t electric fans, but you now have an idea that “just turn it off” wasn’t going to cut it.

      OMG could you imagine what would happen if you force-stopped a jet engine? Not just emotional damage, that’s for sure.

    The post reads like a conspiracy theory nut wrote it.

    What really happened? He had a manic episode, took off his clothes, and climbed inside a running turbine engine. The end.

    Odds are that the pilots themselves didn’t see him and would have learned about the situation from air traffic control. It was late at night, there’s a limited range of sight from a cockpit, and at least one of the pilots is going to be paying more attention to the pre-flight checklists than their surroundings. Additionally, even if they shutdown the engines it would still take time for them to fully stop. As for the footage being cut off, it’s probably because that portion hasn’t been (and probably won’t ever be) released to the public. Ultimately, you’re going to have to wait for the NTSB’s report for more details.

      Could… …

      Could it be… Could it be that they will never release that part because it would disprove (the news articles) that he “ SNUCK IN “ 🙊 😮 😵😵

      I admire your critical thinking… I do not deserve negative votes on my post, my point of view is valid!

    I haven’t seen the video, but from your post it all sounds reasonable. Even at idle the safety zone in front of a turbine engine is probably 7+ feet.

    Especially while turning you have to push the thrust up, so that distance can go up to like 10-15 feet, maybe even more depending on the engine.

    Also, even if they saw him, which in the dark at an airport would be pretty hard to do, shutting the engine down takes time. And I don’t mean you can’t shut it off, I mean after you turn the switch off (Airbus at least) it takes at least 60 seconds for the engine to slow down to a speed that would only maim you, instead of kill you.
