Horror as mechanic is sucked into a Boeing passenger jet's engine and killed after he went to retrieve a tool near aircraft at international airport
The mechanic was doing routine maintenance work on a Boeing 737-500
A mechanic has been sucked into a Boeing passenger jet's engine and killed at Chabahar Konarak airport in southern Iran after he went to retrieve a tool near the aircraft.
Local mechanic Abolfazl Amiri was doing routine maintenance work on Iranian domestic airline Varesh Airline's Boeing 737-500 when he was sucked into the engine.
According to Bild, the engine on the right-hand side had been started for a test run with the cover flaps open. A safety area had been set up around the engine as is usually recquired.
But when Amiri realised he had forgotten a tool on the engine, he went back and was sucked in and killed before the engine caught fire.
Amiri's remains were recovered after the airport fire brigade arrived at the scene.
Iran's aviation authority has ordered an investigation into the accident.
Back in May, a man was killed after being sucked into a KLM passenger plane engine at Amsterdam's Schipol Airport.
Passengers and crew members on board the Embraer 190 aircraft - which KLM uses for their Cityhopper service to nearby destinations - told local outlet that a 'hellish noise' came from the engine, which quickly began trailing smoke.
The Dutch Royal Military Police investigating the incident later said that the man 'intentionally climbed into the engine, indicating this is a case of suicide'.
They additionally said that he had been 'identified as an employee of a company operating at the airport'.
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.
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.

Alabama airline worker who died after being sucked into an engine so violently it shook the entire plane was a mother-of-three and had been 'repeatedly warned to stay back', says NTSB
In 2022, an Alabama airport baggage handler was killed after being sucked into American Airlines plane engine while it was parked ahead of its scheduled flight to Dallas.
The airport worker who died after being so violently sucked into the engine of a recently landed plane it shook the entire aircraft was a mother-of-three and had been repeatedly warned to stay back.
The tragedy occurred on New Year's Eve at Montgomery Regional Airport in Alabama. The victim was later identified as 34-year-old Courtney Edwards, who worked as a ground agent for Piedmont Airlines.
The initial report from the National Transport Safety Board stated that Edwards was killed after getting too close to the engine of an American Eagle-operated Embraer E175 jet.

=For anyone who missed it, this violent robbery happened 10 days ago in Denver, carried out by a gang of Venezuelans.
There were some arrests made two days later in El Paso.
We've heard nothing since from DHS.

2024 Republican Platform Drops Gun-Rights Promises
Jake Foglemen July 9, 2024
In its first official platform since 2016, the Grand Old Party (GOP) slashed all mention of its gun policy positions.
The Republican National Committee (RNC) Platform Committee voted 84-to-18 on Monday to adopt the new 2024 platform language after skipping the process entirely in 2020. The finalized document leans into former President Donald Trump’s “America First” outlook and parrots many of his stances on issues ranging from immigration to trade. However, it also minimized the party’s emphasis on gun policy compared to its previous platform.
The entire platform discusses gun rights just once, in a preamble statement about the party’s dedication to defending “our fundamental freedoms, including freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to keep and bear arms.” The final product omits any discussion of tangible gun policy ideas.
The Republican Party platform’s downplaying of Second Amendment issues comes as the gun-rights movement finds itself in a precarious position politically. As guns have become increasingly polarized along party lines, gun-rights supporters have found themselves reliant on Republicans for political support. President Joe Biden has made gun control a fixture of his tenure in office and is already campaigning on even more sweeping proposals, including a ban on sales of the popular AR-15, in a potential second term. At the same time, while the GOP’s current standard-bearer has continued to seek the support of the National Rifle Association and make promises in speeches to the group, he has been fickle on gun policy at times. His felony convictions also mean he can no longer legally own or possess firearms.
The 2024 platform’s cursory discussion of gun policy priorities marks a significant departure from the party’s 2016 platform. The party previously dedicated an entire section to the Second Amendment. In it, the GOP listed specific pro-gun policies it wanted to enact, as well as gun-control measures it opposed.
“We support firearm reciprocity legislation to recognize the right of law-abiding Americans to carry firearms to protect themselves and their families in all 50 states,” the 2016 document reads. “We support constitutional carry statutes and salute the states that have passed them.”
“We oppose ill-conceived laws that would restrict magazine capacity or ban the sale of the most popular and common modern rifle,” the section continues. “We also oppose any effort to deprive individuals of their right to keep and bear arms without due process of law. We condemn frivolous lawsuits against gun manufacturers and the current Administration’s illegal harassment of firearm dealers. We oppose federal licensing or registration of law-abiding gun owners, registration of ammunition, and restoration of the ill-fated Clinton gun ban.”
The RNC did not respond to a request for comment about the party dropping gun-rights priorities from its platform. However, in a press release, RNC Chairman Michael Whatley and co-chair Lara Trump called the “a bold roadmap that will undo the devastating damage that Joe Biden’s far-left policies have done to this country, power President Trump to a historic victory in November, and Make America Great Again.”
The GOP’s old platform stood in stark contrast to the 2020 Democratic party platform, which dedicated several paragraphs to endorsing gun-control proposals aimed at “Ending the Epidemic of Gun Violence.”
“Democrats will enact universal background checks, end online sales of guns and ammunition, close dangerous loopholes that currently allow stalkers, abusive partners, and some individuals convicted of assault or battery to buy and possess firearms, and adequately fund the federal background check system,” the 2020 platform reads. “Democrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and extreme risk protection order laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others.”
The GOP’s 2024 platform being __nearly silent__on gun policywas not the only instance of the party leaning away from its traditional issues and stances. The updated platform also featured notably softened language on abortion restrictions, a move that reflects former President Trump’s recent sidelining of the pro-life movement. While the party’s 2016 platform endorsed a federal abortion ban after 20 weeks, the updated document codified Trump’s preference to leave the issue to the states. It also endorsed protections for birth control and fertility treatments like in vitro fertilization (IVF)….
