Point taken. Every other case I can recall of jet engine vs. human was accidental. Still, it's hard to imagine how anyone could have been unable to avoid an approaching aircraft engine, especially a person intent enough and agile enough to scale or breach the perimeter fence Suicide by train is distressingly common. As is walking onto a busy freeway.

Please take the word "apparent" in the title to mean that in my opinion it's highly likely, not certain.
