Passengers and crew members were reported to be on board the Embraer 190 aircraft when the incident occurred


Investigators say they cannot even tell if victim sucked into jet turbine at Amsterdam airport was a man or woman as they try to determine if it was a suicide after their body was shredded by the spinning turbines.




The unidentified victim was killed immediately when they were pulled into the KLM passenger plane's engine at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport yesterday afternoon as it prepared for takeoff.

Passengers and crew members on board the Embraer 190 aircraft - which KLM uses for their Cityhopper service to nearby destinations - told local outlet De Telegraaf that a 'hellish noise' came from the engine, which quickly began trailing smoke.

Emergency crews carried out a 'massive' response after the horror tragedy was reported around 3pm, with a picture posted by public broadcaster NOS showing the plane surrounded by fire trucks and ambulances.

Investigators from the Dutch military police have said that is was too early to say whether this was an 'incident', or a form of suicide, and in a press conference late last night said they were still trying to identify the sex of the victim.

Flight 1341 was set to depart from Schiphol in the Netherlands for Billund in Denmark at 2.25pm on Wednesday.

It was unclear from initial reports whether the victim was travelling with the airline or worked at the airport.

An insider told Dutch newspaper AD that the incident was 'very intense', adding: 'After the plane was pushed back to take off, someone walked into the engine.'

A spokesperson for Schiphol told MailOnline: 'Today there was a terrible incident in which a person ended up in an aircraft engine.

'Our thoughts are with the relatives and we are providing care for the passengers and colleagues who witnessed this.'

The airport confirmed an investigation was underway to gather more details on the case, led by the Royal Military Police.

The 'Koninklijke Marechaussee' Royal Military Police said in a statement: 'An incident occurred this afternoon on the Schiphol platform where a person fell into a running aircraft engine and died.'

'All passengers and employees of the flight in question disembarked and are being taken care of,' the statement added.

Psychological support will be provided for the passengers witness to the incident, military police said. The passengers have since been disembarked from the aircraft.



They noted that the passengers may still be 'important witnesses' in helping them understand exactly what happened.
