Aircraft operated by KLM was preparing to depart when incident occurred at busy Amsterdam hub

A person has died after falling into the spinning turbine blades of a departing passenger jet at Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport.

The death occurred on the apron outside the busy hub’s terminal as a KLM flight was preparing to depart for Billund in Denmark.

“A fatal incident took place at Schiphol today during which a person ended up in a running aircraft engine,” the Dutch flag carrier, KLM, said in a statement. “Sadly the person has died.” The victim has not yet been named.

    Painful

    In order to be painful it’d have to happen slow enough to actually feel it.

    If this dude felt anything it was a pinch and then nothing.
