From the Wikipedia article
The 2002 Sabang Airport incident occurred on 11 April 2002, when a regional flight within Indonesia was to begin with a CASA/Nurtanio NC-212 Aviocar 100 of Sabang Merauke Raya Air Charter (SMAC) at Maimun Saleh Airport in Sabang. A propeller incident with personal injury occurred in which one person was killed.
Sequence of events
After boarding was completed, the pilots started the engines in order to taxi from the gate to the runway. Suddenly a man ran out of the airport building and towards the aircraft. As he ran towards the aircraft, he ran into the aircraft's left propeller and was killed. The aircraft was only slightly damaged.
Accident investigation
The accident investigation revealed that the man killed was a passenger who had been booked on the flight. The man had arrived late at the airport and had tried to still catch the flight. It was speculated that the man had reached the apron via a VIP room that was unguarded at that time.
