my condollences to the mans family
read a initinal report the other day ... it says it was rainingand there was not much light on the ramp. the plane was a 737-500 it has been inpounded untill further notice whilst the A.A.I.B investigate. the other engieners who were doing the engien run were all arested.
the horiffic thing about it all is that it was all caught on C.C.T.V. It's all very sad news for all involvedand i hope people take note about what has happend. its a very dangerous place on the ramp.
as for myself i never go past the nose wheel on any aircraft whilst on the push back you need to be thinkingand be aware of what is going on around you all the time

a wake up call.
this is an unfortunate event, i feel sorry for the family of the deceased and the techs that had to clean up the result.
all these sort of events remind me to be vigilantand respectful of the power that is so close to us every day.
how many times i have been underneath these engines at idle looking for fluid leaksand seeing a vortex and water spout not 2 metres in front of me!!!
on pushback, i make it a point of getting into the cab of the tug with the driver, keeping me out of the way,
our lives are not expendable, we must learn from this.
