Sorry for the watermark…this was the only version I was able to find!

A tragic accident occurred at Charlotte Douglas International Airport on Monday morning, resulting in the death of an American Airlines employee.

According to officials, the incident happened around 9:30 a.m. on the tarmac, an area used for aircraft parking, refueling, and loading. The employee was struck by an airline ramp vehicle, which was the only vehicle involved in the accident. Emergency responders arrived quickly, but the worker did not survive.

Airport authorities are now working alongside airline representatives and emergency personnel to investigate what happened. In a statement, officials expressed their condolences and confirmed that chaplains are available to support those affected.

American Airlines also released a statement, calling the accident "devastating" and emphasizing their commitment to supporting the employee’s loved ones and colleagues.

"We are heartbroken over the loss of our team member at Charlotte Douglas International Airport," the airline stated. "Our thoughts are with their family and coworkers during this difficult time."

I like how the article says he was “struck.” Nice way of saying the guy ran him over like a pancake.

With a vehicle that moves that slow how is it he was run over? Was it intentional? WTF in general?

Found it slightly less watermarked and in better quality.

His name was Pete D.

It would seem ol' Pete ran into a bit of turbulence just before his departure.
