EL PASO, Texas -- A mechanic died Monday after being sucked into a Continental Airlines jet engine at El Paso International Airport.
Houston-based Continental said the accident involving Flight 1515 happened during a maintenance check before takeoff to Houston's Bush Intercontinental Airport.
The plane was a Boeing 737-500 with 114 passengers and five crew members.
A spokeswoman for the National Transportation Safety Board said there had been an earlier problem with the No. 2 engine, so the engine cowlings were open.
She said a mechanic walked in front of the engine and was pulled into it.
The victim's identity wasn't immediately released.
