Man dies after being sucked into plane engine at Milan airport
A tragic incident at Milan Bergamo Airport in northern Italy claimed the life of a man who was pulled into a plane's engine just as it was preparing to depart. The fatal accident occurred Tuesday morning, shortly after the aircraft began taxiing for takeoff on its scheduled flight to Asturias in northwestern Spain. According to local reports, the man, who has not been identified, entered the airfield under unknown circumstances. Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera cited unnamed airport officials who said the individual ran across the tarmac and was pulled into the aircraft's engine as it started moving. The Spanish airline Volotea, which operated the flight, confirmed the man was not a passenger or affiliated with the airline. In a statement, the company said the individual was 'seriously injured,' and later reports confirmed his death. All 154 passengers and six crew members aboard the flight were unharmed. Volotea added that those on board were receiving psychological support in the wake of the traumatic event.

Published June 29th, 2025 - 12:14 GMT ALBAWABA - A security source in Baghdad reported on Sunday that a massive fire broke out at the Heart of the World Hotel in the Iraqi capital. The source told Sumaria News, "A massive fire broke out on one of the floors of the Heart of the World Hotel in the Al-Jadriya area of Baghdad." The source maintained that Iraq's Civil Defense teams were dispatched to the location of the fire to extinguish it and control it before it spread to other floors. According to some local media, civil defense teams were able to put out the fire at the Heart of the World Hotel in central Baghdad. In a separate report, footage was posted online showing a train in Iraq's Baghdad collided with a truck on the street in a big accident. According to initial reports, the train was just opened and began work hours before the crash. Some people on social media claimed that the roads have no signs or traffic lights to warn that the train is passing, so that's why the accident happened. However, no official source has yet commented on the claims. بعد ساعات قليلة من افتتاحه… قرب جسر الطوبجي في بغداد بين قطار وشاحنة. السبب انه ماكو علامات تحذير ولا عارضات لغلق الطريق قبل لا يوصل القطار — • جمهورية المگاريد (@Sir_Karar) June 29, 2025 © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (
