A CBS News Radio investigation is revealing safety concerns about Jet Bridges – the walkways linking airports to airplanes. CBS News has uncovered a number of cases, across the country, of passengers and employees being injured or killed by the bridges.
In this podcast: CBS News Correspondent, Steve Dorsey, joins It Takes 2 to explain the investigation.
Maintenance reports, obtained by CBS News Radio through public records requests, reveal damaged jet bridges and safety hazards at major U.S. airports including those serving Washington, D.C., Denver, Salt Lake City, Honolulu, Anchorage and Kansas City…
The documents detail incidents of passengers and airport employee injuries on jet bridges. One report found “flooring missing” on a Salt Lake City International Airport jet bridge that caused an agent to twist her ankle. A Salt Lake City maintenance worker in January 2017 also found “outside landing area flooring feels like someone could fall through.” Three months later a maintenance report noted four people had fallen on a “yellow strip” that posed a slipping hazard on a jet bridge.
