Police have been focusing their investigation on a red Fiat 500 that was abandoned in the airport\u2019s internal parking area, near where buses are typically stationed. Authorities believe the 35-year-old man used that car to reach the Orio al Serio Airport.<\/p>\n<p>Airport sources say the man appeared to take a wrong turn at a roundabout, stopped the vehicle abruptly, opened the door, and began running.<\/p>\n<p>Officers nearby noticed something was off, and one of them gave chase. The man then entered the arrivals area and forced open a security door, which gave him direct access to the runway. Moments later, the tragedy occurred.<\/p>\n<p>Psychological support is being offered to both passengers and crew who witnessed the traumatic event. The airport and airline have pledged full cooperation as authorities continue to piece together what led to the deadly breach in safety.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most people understand the dangers of getting too close to an aircraft\u2014especially its powerful jet engines, which can turn deadly in an instant.
