Man breaks through airport security and runs toward a plane. Staff chase him but he throws himself into the jet engine

A 35-year-old man died in horrible circumstances at Milan Bergamo Airport in Italy on July 8, 2025, after breaking through security and running into the running jet engine of a plane that was about to take off. The man was Andrea Russo from Calcinate, and he was not a passenger or airport worker when this happened.

Russo showed up at the airport at around 10:20 in his red Fiat 500 and left the car in the parking lot. He ran into the arrivals area and broke through a security door to get onto the runway. A Volotea Airlines Airbus A319 was getting ready to fly to Asturias, Spain, with 154 passengers and 6 crew members on board. The plane had just finished boarding and was moving away from the gate when Russo got onto the runway. People on another plane saw what happened and described the terrible events.
