A new federal investigation has found that Courtney Edwards, the 34-year-old ground worker at the Montgomery Regional Airport Alabama who died after being sucked into a jet engine on New Year’s Eve, was repeatedly told not to go near the engine before her fatal accident.

Ms Edwards was working at the airport on 31 December when an Envoy Air flight from Dallas, Texas, operating as American Eagle flight ENY3408 arrived in Montgomery, Alabama. Minutes later, she passed too close to a running engines on the plane and was killed.
