Terrified plane crew and passengers watched on in horror as a person got sucked into a jet turbine at Amsterdam Schipol Airport, moments before it was due to take off.
An investigation has now been launched into the unidentified person's tragic death, and onlookers will likely never be able to burn the horrific image from their memory as one witness told a local newspaper: "Many people saw it happen."
Officials say they have yet to identify whether the victim is a man or a woman due to the severity of the injuries inflicted by the spinning turbines, the Mirror reports. They were killed immediately by the impact. The plane, which can carry up to 104 people, was full of passengers when the nightmare ensued.
The airport has confirmed that passengers and staff had witnessed the gory scenes, which unfolded when the KLM Cityhopper Embraer E190 was being pushed back from the stand in preparation for its departure to Denmark. Emergency crews rushed frantically to the scene, but tragically it was too late.
Passengers onboard the craft heard a "hellish noise" when the person was sucked into the plane engine, and smoke quickly began to swirl above the turbines. The airport confirmed it is currently "caring" for those who saw the freak incident.
An insider source told Dutch newspaper AD that the ordeal was 'very intense' for onlookers. Images from the fatal scene show the plane surrounded by fire trucks and ambulances as emergency services desperately flooded onto the runway.
A Dutch military police source said the plane was taxiing on the runway but had to halt take-off after an irregularity was detected with the engine, The Telegraph reports. Witnesses are receiving psychological support.
