There should still be engine where he's standing and even with a tunnel there wouldn't be enough room for him to stand.

That looks like a Boeing 314 Clipper which had Wright Twin Cyclone engines...ie: two row radials that were about 55"-60" in diameter. I'm thinking that the figure shown in the nacelle would have been crouched behind the firewall. Can't imagine what you could do there besides permanently lose your hearing.
