Alabama airline worker and mother who died after being sucked into an engine had been ‘repeatedly warned to stay back’

The airline worker who died after being so violently sucked into the engine of a recently landed plane it shook the entire aircraft was a mother-of-three and had been repeatedly warned to stay back.

The tragedy occurred on New Year’s Eve at Montgomery Regional Airport in Alabama. The victim was later identified as 34-year-old Courtney Edwards, who worked as a ground agent for Piedmont Airlines.

The initial report from the National Transport Safety Board stated that Edwards was killed after getting too close to the engine of an American Eagle-operated Embraer E175 jet.

The report notes that Edwards failed to heed multiple warnings to stay back from the engines while the plane was shutting down.
