Indiengestion? Or, in de enginestion? Simple question— for what reason would any person enter into an airport perimeter and then cross an active runway unaware or aware of an aircraft/jetengines taking off at over 200 mph? Stupid, drunk? Or stupid, drunk and.. suicidal. Pretty definitive end, as likely the upper torso and head went in first. Iirc there is a safety feature of fuel shutdown/shutdown when the turbine is violently obstructed. They are titanium turbine blades, and the aperture reduces into the “jet” exhaust providing the thrust. Horrific, more than a fast train direct impact. Not survivable.
