Preslie Ginoski encounters criticism after sharing a video of herself doing push-ups on a plane engine at Sydney Airport, leading to a formal safety investigation.
Preslie Ginoski, a 23-year-old bodybuilder and fitness influencer, has faced criticism after uploading a video of himself doing push-ups inside a commercial jet engine at Sydney Airport.
The TikTok video, captioned 'Quick pump before flight,' has drawn widespread backlash for its perceived irresponsibility.
Originally recorded last year, the footage resurfaced over the weekend and quickly gained traction online.
Officials from Sydney Airport condemned the act, reiterating their strict no-tolerance policy for unsafe activities on the airfield.
A representative for the airport highlighted that passenger, worker, and operational safety is the highest priority, and an investigation into the incident has been initiated.
In light of the criticism, Mr. Ginoski stood by his actions, asserting that he had taken safety measures before capturing the video.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, he clarified that the video was meant to be humorous and shouldn't be taken literally.
Mr. Ginoski explained that the plane was stationary and was not scheduled to depart until the following day, and that the engine was off during the footage.
He added that any movement seen in the engine was merely due to wind.
The video was recorded in June 2024 while Mr. Ginoski was working at the airport, and he shared it online after departing from his role.
Regardless of his defense, Sydney Airport is continuing its investigation, reaffirming its dedication to maintaining rigorous safety protocols.
