Six-figure payout for air steward 'forever grounded' by accident

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

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

Eden was unable to walk for two months after the incident and underwent numerous operations and 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.
