He was sucked to death by an aircraft turbine on the runway: he had missed the flight and ran to the plane to visit his sick grandfather.

He was so desperate to board a flight that he did not consider the consequences of his defiant act. He died in a gruesome way: an aircraft turbine “devoured him”, Noticias Telemundo reported on Tuesday, January 16, 2024.

The man was determined to do anything to get on the plane. He kicked doors, ran down a flight of stairs, fell at the airport, got back up and started running across the tarmac to the plane. The ending is, predictably, tragic.

A video shows the man in his desperation to chase after the plane. Many on social networks wonder how they allowed him to make so much progress.
