Russian Airport Worker Sucked Into 737 Engine

Shocked Passengers Removed From Flight

No one's exactly sure why Igor Yelfimov was standing so close to the engine of an Air Astana 737-700 at Moscow's Sheremetyevo-1 Airport Tuesday. Yelfimov won't be providing any answers. When the crew of the Kazak airliner started up the engines, Yelfimov was sucked into one of the turbines and instantly killed.

The Russian newspaper Gazeta reports officials quickly set up a commission to investigate the grisly death. The aircraft was reportedly grounded after Yelfimov was killed, its passengers off-loaded and put up in local hotels for the night.
