An airport worker who died after being sucked into a jet engine last month was warned not to go near it, federal investigators said.
After parking the plane at the gate, the pilots decided to leave the engines running for a two-minute cool-down period, investigators said in the report. The pilots alerted airport workers about leaving the engines on. Separately, the crew had also been briefed two times before the plane's arrival that it shouldn't be approached until the engines were shut down, the report said.
The employee who died was also warned by a co-worker who, at one point, saw them get nearly knocked over by the exhaust from the jet and told them to stay back, the report said.
