Those big bypass fan blades hit you on the head and you are instantly dead. I often wonder if the brain has time to register what's going on before you are dead. You have a few milliseconds between the time you are lifted off your feet until you are dead. Is that enough time to think "This is it. Goodbye cruel world. I love you Mom."?
Other tidbits from the article...
Before the plane arrived, ground crew members held a ten-minute safety meeting “to reiterate that the engines would remain running until ground power was connected,” according to the NTSB.

The ground crew was also informed that they should not approach the plane until the engines were turned down and the pilots turned off the rotating beacon light.

An American Eagle ground operations manual, released in July 2022, also states that the ground crew should never approach within 15 feet of the engine when running.

[...and this is very sad] Edwards is survived by her three children, her mother, and other family and friends, according to the Montgomery Advertiser.


They had a SAFETY MEETING right before the plane arrived. Maybe suicide by jet?

After all the warnings my inclination is she was leaving a law suit for her family. Or at least she thought she was.

No matter, American will settle if they can and in the right or not will have to pay her estate. They simply can’t risk jury trial of a poor black woman in Alabama by a jury of her “peers”. Some pettifogging lawyer will still get well on the settlement.

It may sound cruel to think this but I would not put it pas her or a lot of others.

The working poor are more desperate than the destitute. Our system is effed in that somehow a dollar or two either way can provide full benefits or no benefits. Our system is not intended to help those who are doing their best to help themselves and to get them back on their feet. It is designed for dependency for the duration.
