Staff on the first day?
What led to the accident was initially unknown on Wednesday evening. An employee who was on the plane is said to have reported that the person "jumped" into the engine. He reportedly heard "hellish noise" and smoke on the plane.
According to Bild, it is suspected that the person was an employee who had had his first day at Schipol Airport and had wanted to pick up an object. In doing so, he may have accidentally come too close to the turbine.
