I cannot imagine a more gruesome way to die. Last June, I wrote about a San Antonio International Airport (SAT) employee who was sucked into the engine of the Airbus A319 that had just flown Delta Air Lines flight DL1111 from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). A passenger on board then filed a $1 million lawsuit for “intentional infliction of emotional distress,” among other things. This was ruled to be a suicide.
Anthony’s Take: What a horrible way to go and I can’t imagine witnessing this horrific incident. My condolences to this person’s friends and family.
