On August 9, 2024, a shocking incident unfolded in Rosario, Argentina, as a former employee allegedly crashed a plane into his former workplace in an apparent act of revenge.
Juan Manuel Medina, 46, is believed to have deliberately flown a Cessna 15 jet into the Air Liquide Argentina factory after reportedly being dismissed from his job.
Dramatic footage captures the moment the two-seater aircraft plummets towards the factory site, narrowly missing highly flammable blue and white canisters.
Factory workers can be heard shrieking in the background as the plane makes impact.
Local media reports suggest Medina was a former employee of Air Liquide, a French company specializing in industrial gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen.
The extent of damage to the facility is not yet clear, but firefighters stated that a direct hit on the flammable materials could have resulted in a massive explosion.
Argentinian authorities are currently investigating the crash. While no fatalities have been reported, it’s unclear whether Medina survived the incident.
This alarming event highlights the potential dangers of workplace disputes escalating to extreme measures.
The investigation will likely focus on Medina’s motives and the circumstances surrounding his dismissal from Air Liquide Argentina.
As the story develops, questions about workplace security and the psychological impact of job loss are likely to come to the forefront of public discussion.
