As ground workers began to approach, the flight’s first officer opened a cockpit window and gave the workers a verbal warning, according to the report.
Emergency lights and a “crew alerting system” were also in operation.
Nevertheless, one worker walked in front of an engine, was “pulled off her feet and into the operating engine” and suffered fatal injuries.
The ground crew worker — later identified as Courtney Edwards, 34, according to Fox News — was a mother of three.
Edwards was given multiple warnings that the engines would remain on during the cool-down period in addition to the pilot’s verbal warning and the safety lights.
According to the NTSB review, the MGM ground crew held multiple safety meetings in advance of the plane’s landing.
During these meetings, it was emphasized that the engines would be running, and therefore unsafe, during the engine cool-down period, which was set to last until the plane connected to ground power.
As Edwards approached the plane to set up cones and perform her duties, multiple crew members attempted to wave her off.
The NTSB review noted that The American Eagle Ground Operations Manual clearly warns ground crew operators not to approach an aircraft while the engines are on and the rotating beacon (one of the warning lights ignored or unseen by Edwards) is flashing.

Before anyone cracks wise about this please remember a person lost their life in a very tragic and horrific way.
Be respectful
Lack of attention to detail. RIP
Similar, there are no minor chainsaw accidents.
Needless to say, the family stettlement will be in the millions with the ambulance chaser getting 30-40%.
Killer day at the office
I looked at the dead woman’s gofundme memorial page listed in the article, yep.
Now we know more.
Another job men used to do that wokeness has twarted on women.
Women tend to weight less, more easily lifted up, and in this case, cost her her life.
Apparently, they were not the boss of her.
Seriously?

So blaming racism would be disrespectful?
“ Before anyone cracks wise about this please remember a person lost their life in a very tragic and horrific way.

Very true but she was willfully negligent, ignoring multiple warnings.
And her carelessness affects many other people.
I remember a story from Malaysia, where an old peasant woman, while in line boarding a plane from the tarmac, tossed some coins into a rotating jet engine “for good luck on the flight.”
I remember that too.
Agree. Possibly she may have gotten used to seeing much heavier workers get that close…
It still sucks!
The Darwin principle is still very operative.
That was considered a common act of sabotage in the USAF.
We had “bull pens” to put in front of engines when running them for maintenance to keep people away. While running such an engine at full force I saw it pick up a pool of rain water on the ground and suck it into the engine.
The hire anyone who will do the job, many skill less, lazy, woke, type people to work as ground crew. The airlines pay you a pathetic wage for a job that involves extremely safety for everyone involved.
