Indian employee crushed by airplane equipment at Chicago O’Hare Airport

In a tragic incident, a 36-year old Indian man working at the Chicago O’Hare International Airport died after being crushed by airplane equipment.

Jijo George died of multiple injuries after being crushed by an “aircraft drivable pushback apparatus” at a hangar at the airport, according to autopsy results released on Monday by the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

George is survived by his wife, who is 8-months pregnant, a young child and his parents. An online fundraiser has been organised to raise funds for George’s family. George had moved to Chicago from Pathanapuram, Kerala. Media reports said George’s father Kunjumon and mother Mony are also staying with him in Chicago.
