Very sad indeed, Although safety has never being 'Al a carte' in spain IMHO.

The incident last summer in PMI with the FCA 757 was unbelievable also, That again was an example of no training - Fire service filled engine with water on stand - 2m engine gone

Visiting spain & the canaries regular it seemed that training & safety was taught more, But sadly there are some companies who are 'sailing' a tight ship & cut corners too far.

I do think the majority of companies in spain have all the safety procedures in place.

Condolences to the family & everyone else involved,

But It is just commonsense not to go 10 feet near a running Aircraft engine.
