| Andrea Russo successfully tests new jet engine suicide technique at Milan Bergamo Airport |
| 2025-07-12 |
| [MAIL] This is the horrific moment a man took his own life by jumping into a plane's jet engine. Andrea Russo, 35, from Calcinate near Bergamo, who was not a passenger or staff member at Milan Bergamo Airport, entered the terminal in his red Fiat 500 car before abandoning the vehicle and running into the building on Tuesday morning. Russo 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 on to the tarmac and 'throwing himself into one of the two turbofans' on the Volotea Airbus A319 flight V73511 from Milan to Asturias. New footage showed the moment he took his own life. Russo was seen jogging towards the plane's starboard side, and jumping at the side of the jet engine. Failing to gain purchase, he fell backwards and quickly got up as ground staff chased him. He appeared to take a wide berth of the front of the starboard engine, but was seen taking a running leap towards the port side engine. As he jumped into the engine's blades, ground staff were seen holding their heads in horror. |

| #2 Having seen the aftermath such an accident many years ago. (Civ work on DOD bases 1985-1996) SPEC's On a large Jet Engine, at full power, the intake can be 100,000+ cubic feet of air per second. That's about 50+ 1500sq/ft 3.2b Homes a second. This generates a typical intake airflow of around 300+/- mph. If the jet was throttling for movement. Then, intake speeds could reach 500 mph and over 100k C/F. |
