News sources appear to be lying in the worst scenario, or distorting and confusing you, in the best scenario ..

Security footage on YouTube shows him illegally approaching a plane that was getting started to move on the runway.. then cuts for some mysterious secret reason… The plane was only “taxxiing” (slowly turning itself) on the tarmac…

People claim to be close to the incident say he was sucked in the turbines (not “snuck in”).. others say he was sucked in but wasn’t chopped because a protruding part stopped his body from getting deeper..Fact we know for sure is he died in the end..

So i am only concerned by one thing, that even AI cannot give me a straight answer.. Why didn’t the pilots stop the engine when they saw him?

Odds are that the pilots themselves didn't see him and would have learned about the situation from air traffic control. It was late at night, there's a limited range of sight from a cockpit, and at least one of the pilots is going to be paying more attention to the pre-flight checklists than their surroundings. Additionally, even if they shutdown the engines it would still take time for them to fully stop. As for the footage being cut off, it's probably because that portion hasn't been (and probably won't ever be) released to the public. Ultimately, you're going to have to wait for the NTSB's report for more details.
