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?

    Those are rotating jet turbines. To my limited knowledge there’s no way to just stop them. They wind down even if they had turned them off. The very first article I found searching his name showed him approach a jet that was slowly moving across the tarmac, which obviously means the turbines were turning and not going to just immediately lock up if turned off.

    I don’t even know that the pilots would’ve seen him from the footage I saw in the one article I looked at.

      Ofcourse they had seen him! It’s going to take alot (and it should) to convince me they haven’t seen him!
