What happened

The incident transformed a routine airport operation into a fatal accident, prompting immediate alerts across the terminal. Both outlets reported the worker’s death without indicating any other casualties. According to the Montreal Gazette and CBC, the aircraft struck the employee while he was performing duties on the airfield, causing injuries that rapidly became fatal.

The Daily Beast described the individual as seriously injured before the situation escalated. A passenger interviewed by CBC recounted the moment the plane hit the worker, confirming that the impact occurred on the tarmac and was directly responsible for the death. Reports differ on the timing of the injury reports; the Daily Beast still terms the condition as serious, while the other outlets have confirmed death.

None of the coverage provides details on why the worker was in the aircraft’s path, what type of aircraft was involved, or whether an investigation has been launched. Those facts remain unconfirmed currently.
