I used to work at that same airport, they had me out there day one to put these black things under the airplane tires to keep them from rolling back. I was 17. I drove out there as soon as the plane landed grabbed a black thing and got tackled immediately. My dumb ass walked too close to a running airplane and almost got sucked into the jet propeller. That being said, I had zero training, and zero idea about airport safety. A older black woman saved my life.

whoa…that’s intense…great thing she was there!

How the fukk did you not see a person with all that reflective material?

Tbh that Hi visibility shyt don’t work all THAT well. I used to be in the warehouse and still didn’t notice people. They’d be standing next to a rack and I’d be like “ damn how long you been right there??”

Looking at the video, it sounds like both of them were on their phone preoccupied. In an airport there are no walking zones where cars/trucks drive on, and she looked stationary like she was texting someone. And the driver looked like he was talking on the phone and didn't see her

Bruh clearing she had those lights use to guide the plane in both hands. One down and one up. 🧐

They flew out her hands on impact.

That person driving was being beyond reckless. Immediate termination and then some. It's a runway not a speedway. How are you going to drive like that, in that setting, in the dark, with planes all over the place. Damn near security risk by itself, let alone a safety risk. I sincerely hope she heals up well. shyt like that tends to have lingering back issues. I hope she doesn't get that.
