In a very sad incident, a ground engineer of India's flag carrier Air India got sucked into the running engine of an aircraft at the Mumbai airport on Wednesday a few minutes before the aircraft was to take off for Hyderabad at around 8.40 pm. Air India sources claim that miscommunication between the co-pilot and the engineer may have caused the horrifying accident. The co-pilot, who was a trainee and the pilot had both been grounded for investigations. The airline is inquiring into a possible lapse in the usual start-up sequence before a flight takes off.
