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?

If you own an electric fan, then you know that "turning it off" doesn't mean that its blades are going to stop immediately.

Now, imagine an airplane engine that is capable of moving a "bus full of people."

Yes, I know engines aren't electric fans, but you now have an idea that "just turn it off" wasn't going to cut it.

OMG could you imagine what would happen if you force-stopped a jet engine? Not just emotional damage, that's for sure.
