Also at MAN, few years back now, loaders removed rear steps without closing door, putting barrier strap across or telling anyone. Cabin crew walked out of the door.......

Heard about and saw the rather grusome pics of an unlucky chap that got sucked through the engine of a Boeing 737-500 as he was on the headset on pushback and as the a/c was being turned, the engine sucked him in as due to the shorter body on the -500 model he was closer to the intake. Can't remember where that happened though.

Then there was another unfortunate chap at EDI doing the startup on an Air UK F27 or was it an F50 ??. He got in the tug to remove the GPU after engine start and due to a problem with the gearbox on the tug, shot forwards into the running prop.
