A master sergeant died this morning after being sucked into an engine during a routine inspection of a fighter jet at an air base in Taichung, the Air Force Command Headquarters said.

The officer surnamed Hu (胡) was conducting final landing checks at Ching Chuan Kang (清泉崗) Air Base when she was sucked into the jet’s engine for unknown reasons, the air force said in a news release.

She was transported to a hospital for emergency treatment, but was unable to be revived, it said.

Really bizarre, the air intake of IDF is miniscule.
