October 15, 20187 yr Flight attendant falls off the plane..... An Air India flight attendant has been injured after falling from the door of a parked aeroplane at India's Mumbai airport. Harsha Lobo was preparing the flight for boarding to Delhi on Monday morning when the incident happened. Ms Lobo, 52, suffered a fracture and other injuries and has been taken to a hospital. Air India, the country's national carrier, said in a statement that it was investigating the incident. "In an unfortunate incident, one of our cabin crew (members), Harsha Lobo, fell down on the tarmac from the Boeing-777 aircraft door while closing it," the airline said. Doctors attended to Ms Lobo at the Mumbai airport before sending her to the hospital. "She is conscious and well-oriented but has sustained compound (open) fracture of right lower leg bones and multiple blunt injuries," an airport official was quoted as saying by The Hindu newspaper. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-45860878 Gonna put Air India on my never, ever fly list with their 3rd issue in the last 3 weeks.
