AUGUST 28, 2024:

ATLANTA (AP) — The son of a worker who died in a tire explosion at a Delta Air Lines maintenance facility near the Atlanta airport says his father’s body was unrecognizable. Andre Coleman told Atlanta’s 11Alive news station Tuesday (Aug. 27, 2024) that he wanted to see 58-year-old Mirko Marweg because he didn’t believe he was dead. But the family had to rely on tattoos and a Mississippi State lanyard around Marweg’s neck to confirm his identity after a medical examiner told them the body was unrecognizable. Marweg was among two workers who died Tuesday while wheel components were being disassembled for maintenance at a wheel and brake shop. A third worker was seriously injured.
