A mom of three was sucked into an airplane engine at an Alabama airport. Federal officials said the airline could have prevented her death.
The Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration claimed Piedmont Airlines failed to follow proper procedures when a 34-year-old customer service employee got fatally ingested into an airplane's engine.
The Department of Labor said an investigation found that, as the wing walker on a ground crew placed cones around an Embraer E75 plane, suction near one of the plane’s engines pulled Edwards in. “Proper training and enforcement of safety procedures could have prevented this tragedy,” said OSHA Area Director Jose A. Gonzalez. “This incident is a tragic reminder that safety measures must be in place even for a routine assignment.”The Communication Workers of America said Edwards was a valued member of the union and a devoted mom to three children.
