This is the most rational article on the mishap. It seems they were doing a crossbleed start when something went horribly wrong. The crew have been suspended pending investigation.
Most of the media websites have the story completely wrong.

These accidents still happen, even in this day and age.
There’s video evidence of the USN guy going up the intake of an A-6 intruder, (Luckily he survived by wedging himself in the intake).
There was also an incident at a Scotish Maritime Base when a groundcrew member entered the intake danger zone, during a ground run, and paid the ultimate price. I know as I was working at that airfield when it happened.
