The 23-year-old Preslie Ginoski, who calls himself a fitness influencer, caused a stir when he posted a video on TikTok of himself doing push-ups inside a commercial airplane engine. Captioned "quick pump before flight," the video quickly went viral.
Push-up clip sparks backlash
The footage shows Ginoski climbing into the engine of a parked plane and doing push-ups while the propellers appear to be spinning. Aviation officials and the public alike have strongly denounced his actions, calling them reckless and dangerous.
Zero tolerance policy for risky behaviour
Sydney Airport responded to the incident with a statement emphasizing that they have absolutely zero tolerance for risky behaviour on the runway. They have launched an investigation into the matter and assured the public that they are committed to taking every possible precaution to protect the safety of passengers and the airport staff.
Airport authorities refute Ginoski’s claim
Ginoski, in an interview with the Daily Mail, tried to downplay the incident, claiming his stunt was harmless and that he had taken all necessary safety measures. He even went so far as to say he had permission from airport personnel before climbing into the engine.
Sydney Airport has firmly refuted these claims, stating unequivocally that Ginoski's actions were a clear breach of safety regulations.
