Flight injury cost me my dream job six-figure payout won't make up for it

A CABIN crew member left unable to do her dream job after breaking her leg in seven places during severe turbulence has won a sixfigure payout.

Eden Garrity, 31, was pushing a trolley as the Thomas Cook flight from Cuba to Manchester entered a violent Atlantic hail storm.

The impact of the turbulence thrust the plane 500ft upward, pinning Eden to the ground and snapping her ankle.

She was unable to walk at all for two months after the incident and underwent numerous operations and intense rehabilitation.

She has been left with nerve damage which makes it painful for her to stand up for long periods, meaning she can never return to work as cabin crew.
