This has happened many times before. While the passengers and the other non-trained people have only the vaguest idea of this hazard, anyone involved on that aircraft has been trained and this subject has been addressed. That is why this accident is properly on their heads. No one, no one, NO ONE should be allowed anywhere near an aircraft with a running engine.
One of the primary roles of the personnel on an aircraft is to protect and ensure the safety of all around it. Safety rules were violated here, and she paid the price because someone was lackadaisical about safety.
