N8 Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 BOSTON (AP) -- A Delta Air Lines worker was struck and killed by a de-icing truck Tuesday at Logan Airport. The 44-year-old man was walking on the tarmac around daybreak when he stepped into the path of a truck used to remove ice from aircraft, authorities said. The truck was driven by another Delta employee who had worked with the man for several years, said David Procopio, a spokesman for the district attorney's office. No immediate charges were filed. "At this point, all the evidence points to this being a horrible, horrible accident," Procopio said. The driver was hospitalized with stress-related symptoms, Procopio said. The victim was identified as Henry Marshall, of Malden. A woman who answered the phone at a number listed under that name declined to comment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are they kidding me? They looked up this guys phone number in the book and called it to get a comment from his family! That is most despicable thing I have ever heard. Shame, shame on you Mr. Reporter.

boestar Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 And the vest provides some kind of super powers that would stop a de-ice truck in its tracks thereby not injuring the person wearing it? B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deicer Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 It wasn't me Unfortunately, things like this will happen with ramp environments becoming more cramped, busier, and employees rushing more. Sincerest condolences to the families involved. Iceman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B I did not ask for your smart a$$ reply. As we all know when things get busy at an airport and the weather kicks in the vest helps with visibility and can save lives.

Unlikely a vest would have helped in this situation. De-ice trucks are heavy and when the tarmac is slippery they don't stop on a dime. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
