Not a good way to go. I'm going to guess baggage handler lost track of safety guidelines. But the engine must still have been on (?) as surely he would have noticed if the engine started up cold. Weird.

I've been on flights where we disembark on the tarmac and are waved towards the terminal. Next time, refuse to leave the stairs unless the engine is totally off (it's never not been).

A baggage handler at Montgomery Regional Airport was killed after being sucked into the engine of an American Airlines regional aircraft. The airport shut down for several hours after the accident as the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board launch an investigation.

Both the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have launched an investigation into the accident. At this early stage, it's unclear who was at fault for the tragedy
