Mechanic Fatality at ORD
 

Any word on what happened to the mechanic in ORD?

care to elaborate?

I thought I read that one had an accident or something and died from it. I’m not trying to be morbid but it would be nice to know the root cause of it.

Check your AA email. A GSE mechanic died of injuries in ORD yesterday.

sorry to hear that. Best wishes to him or her and their family. Life is precious.

Sad. :(

Good lord, that is horrible.

condolences to coworkers and family. But talk about poor journalism. Aircraft driveable pushback apparatus? The blogger, err, I mean journalist must have a word of the day calendar and paid by the character.

Thank you for sharing this.

Removing this from BF thread.

RIP

Christ, that's *******ed. Especially with a 2 year old.

Happened last year as well.
Mechanic fell from elevated platform. Fell in between support beam and side wall, thus took sometime to discover. No email for him.

It was in quotes so I assume that was what it said on the report.

That said. rip. Keep your head up out there.
