Airport worker throws himself in front of plane
From Associated Press:
The airport at Timisoara, Romania was closed for three hours Tuesday after an airport worker committed suicide by throwing himself in front of a landing airplane, an official said.
The worker, identified as Paul Todoran, 25, was an airport security employee, said Lt. Marius Anghelescu, an airport spokesman.
Todoran died immediately as he hurled himself in front of the airplane shortly after midnight, Anghelescu said. The plane, a Lauda Air flight from Vienna, Austria, had a ground speed of 200 kilometers (125 miles) at the time, he added.
Timisoara, one Romania's largest cities, is located about 500 kilometers (312 miles) west of Bucharest.
