In a KING 5 exclusive, we've learned the Port of Seattle and a local construction company will pay out its largest settlement ever. READ MORE: www.king5.com/...
I remember when this happened. We drive luggage carts in order to load luggage inside of cargo Bay Area’s of the planes before they take off. We have to go through an intersection of the runway in order for us to do our job. Many of us complained to management because there were no yield or stop signs at these so called intersections of the runway. We said it was a collision bound to happen. It fell on deaf ears, and then this happened. We now have all the stop and yield signs because of the lawsuit. Myself and the boys at the port couldn’t be any more happy for her. I’m glad she got her settlement. God bless and enjoy your new life!
@@Joedysart That's not how the law works. If it's not LABELED clearly with a sign, it's considered a HAZARD & management is liable. Just like a puddle with no "Wet floor" sign.
@@Joedysart You didn't watch the video did you? She actually slowed down for the blind corner it was the other driver who came at the corner at a high rate of speed. She even tried to avoid the accident by turning but he was moving too fast.
I work here and know that exact spot, I'm a maintenance guy on the strip. I've almost gotten nailed there so many times, I'm lucky I don't drive those tugs. Congrats to the home girl
I’m surprised they still haven’t put doors on our tugs. Other airlines have doors like delta and southwest. Even Horzion which drives the exact same tugs has doors and padded seats. We are left with no doors and during winter the brakes get ice on the pedals and ya foot slips
Why blur the photo at all? If it's inappropriate, it shouldn't be shown. Blurring it only creates unnecessary curiosity, similar to teasing someone with the scent of food but not allowing them to eat it!!
There was no flagger because they didn’t care to put a flagger there They would have rather save the money than hire somebody to do it. She should have gotten 22million.
So every soldier that loses limbs gets a million nah didnt think so that! So until they do she doesn't deserve a cent what she do for anyone but not get luggage on time lol you're the reason the worlds failing
@@demiurgiac I think the whole reason she won her case was that it was a one lane road. On an airport you can’t travel outside of the boundaries provided for the carts so depending on the airport layout that was probably the only way to get to where she was going.
I bet its all going to her medical debt, they owe me, my family, we worked there too and to all the others that sucked it up we believe you, we got your back emotionally, and stay strong, there are others quieting their voices and they need to know that we exist, Peace.
insanely excessive award. soldiers losing legs dont even get this much easy money to live on the rest of their livves.3 or 4 million would be more correct..lawyers etc taking one third...and she still has plenty left to buy a home CASH and a BUSINESS to pay her future freight as well as plenty left to pay for medical bills..port got had big time. anyway, dont be rushing around any blind corners so fast you cant stop or safely avoid ANYTHING around that blind corner. there are blind corners everywhere! should people get 11 million when they have accidents there??? it part negligence on her part as well as other driver
In the video, she is approaching the blind turn and advancing forward slowly. The other driver was speeding at a rate he couldn't react in time, barrelling into her vehicle. She attempted to avoid the impact by turning away, but that put her at greater risk, since the carts don't have doors on the sides for protection.
@@oahuhawaii2141it’s fucked up too we have been asking for doors for years. It’s so dangerous when it’s raining or snowing and you have ice on the brake pedal. The same tugs have doors on them at other airlines but Alaska refuses to provide door on the tugs
Some weird news at king this week. Lady lost a foot 3 yrs ago, Boeing employees coming back to the office after 3 years. Why are these stories in the news- leave the people alone

So common sense would be to yield at these so-called intersections. No excuse sorry.
@@Joedysart what might be common sense to you would not be for someone else. Remember, not everyone thinks the same way that you do.

Wishing her all the best!

Oh yeah I remember we had to watch this during training at the airport and at the end it was hard to watch!
She shouldn’t have never got on tv because the wolves gone be on her
So did leadership/management at PoS make changes? Did any of them get terminated?
I drive those tugs all the time. That dude was going way too fast.

Custom, extra long fingernail appointments can get expensive.
She got her foot in the door of the business.
No amount of money can bring her life into normal.
There was no flagger because they didn’t care to put a flagger there
They would have rather save the money than hire somebody to do it.
She should have gotten 22million.
You deserve more!

@@davidlangston7489 I hope you don’t lose your legs.
@@ridwanomar5351 same but if it happens I'm not suing nobody for money 😂
Doesn't she have any responsibility at all? One of the first things I learned in driver's training is... don't drive where you can't see.
It’s an airport not a public city road.
@@rudyrobertson1540 I think it's pretty easy to make the case that no matter where you are "don't drive where you can't see".
@@demiurgiac I think the whole reason she won her case was that it was a one lane road. On an airport you can’t travel outside of the boundaries provided for the carts so depending on the airport layout that was probably the only way to get to where she was going.
Did they change and make that route safer, though? Not to admit any wrong doing, makes me feel like they don't think they needed to make any changes.
God please protect this woman. I hope she can avoid the greedy leeches that are going to ask her for hand outs
Welp, God didn't protect her when her left foot was crushed. Or when her foot and leg were amputated. Don't know why you think God will help her now?
Find a good money manager or the wolves will be after you. Look for one that caters to millionaires, billionaires and has a good reputation.
Lawyer made out like a bandit.

Goodwillie😂

Jealousy get off it poor lady lost part of her leg
