A man committed suicide by throwing himself into a passenger jet engine at an Italian international airport as a plane prepared to take off this morning.
The victim, 35, who was not a passenger or airport staff member at Milan Bergamo Airport, entered the terminal in his car before abandoning the vehicle and running into the building, according to Bergamo News.
The Italian reportedly arrived at the airport without a ticket and made his way to a restricted area leading to the runway before two Border Police on duty attempted to stop him.
He managed to free himself from the officers before running onto the tarmac and 'throwing himself into one of the two turbofans'.
Firefighters were seen on airport grounds recovering the body of the victim.
