Horror moment Qantas worker plunges 20ft from plane's airbridge fracturing spine & left with collapsed lung
THIS is the horrifying moment a Qantas workers falls 20ft down from a plane's airbridge onto the rock-hard tarmac - leaving her in critical condition. Customer experience supervisor Olivia Hristovska, 51, dropped from a huge height as she was peeking through viewing windows in the wall of an aerobridge. 5 5 5 Her harrowing drop, which left her with a fractured spine and fighting for her life, was recorded on May 3 at Sydney Airport. She also suffered a broken clavicle and a collapsed lung, before she was placed in an induced coma. In the shocking footage, the staff member is seen approaching the gaps in the aerobridge walls with her back hunched over. As she creeps closer, she is unaware of the fact there is a gaping hole between the floor and the wall. She then takes a step too close, and takes a horror fall down. Her co-worker looks absolutely baffled as he approaches the gap and realises where the other member of staff has gone. Olivia's daughters Monique and Sienna revealed this week they found out about their mum's accident through doctors and the media. They claimed that Qantas were yet to inform them of their mum's horrifying accident. Monique, 27, also revealed her mum has since been discharged from hospital - but is still suffering life-changing damages. The heartbroken daughter told Nine News: "Bones can heal, but the brain… you don't know. She's lost her identity." Both Monique and Sienna are currently acting as full-time carers for their mum. Monique previously told the Daily Mail Australia she hadn't left her mum's side since the traumatic accident. She said: "We feel it's important the full human impact of this incident is understood. "Not just the event itself, but the long-term effects on her body, mind, and our family." The two daughters are now pleading for more information about the accident to be revealed, after they claimed they had been left in the dark. Olivia is believed to have fallen through an opening where the shutter wall of the aerobridge came loose from its tracks. She was rushed to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney's inner west before being placed in an induced coma. A friend said of her condition at the time: "She has bleeding on the brain and a broken collarbone, broken ribs, and probably a broken pelvis. "She fell sideways, then backwards, and hit her head. She is not breathing on her own yet. What an absolute tragedy." Olivia had been working with Qantas for 14 years, according to her LinkedIn profile. A fellow Qantas employee posted on social media that staff working at the airport at the time of the horrific fall had been "traumatised" by the accident. Safework NSW confirmed that investigations into the tragic incident had started and were still underway - but said that the probe could take two years to complete. Sydney Airport told Daily Mail Australia its aerobridges were frequently inspected and serviced under a "scheduled systematic preventative maintenance program". 5

Footage shows horror moment Qantas worker plunges 6m off aerobridge at Sydney Airport
The terrifying moment a Qantas worker fell five metres through a hole in an aerobridge at Sydney Airport has been released. Newly released footage shows customer service representative Olivia Hristovska approaching the side of the aerobridge to look onto the tarmac through the little windows that run along the side. She doesn't appear to notice the gaping hole below her feet where the side of the aerobridge has come away from the platform and as she walks closer she slips through. Another worker sees her fall and approaches the hole but is too late to help. Ms Hristovska was rushed to hospital with life-threatening head injuries after the fall last month. She was placed in an induced coma with a collapsed lung, several broken ribs, broken clavicle and pelvis, and fractured spine. She's since been released from hospital into the care of her adult two daughters and is still living with the impact of the head injury. 'Bones can heal, but the brain you don't know,' her daughter Monique Hristovska told 9News on Tuesday, 'She's lost her whole identity.' She described her mother's time in hospital as 'traumatic' and 'daunting' and said she initially learned the details of the incident through doctors and the media. 'We are truly sorry for the devastating incident that occurred to one of our team members at Sydney Airport last month and acknowledge the significant impact this has had on Olivia and her family,' he said. 'We have had a number of conversations and correspondence with Olivia's family since the day of the incident and have offered our full support through this incredibly difficult time. We are here to assist Olivia in any way we can through her recovery while also respecting her family's request for privacy during this stage of her recovery. 'Everyone at Qantas and Sydney Airport wants to know exactly what happened and we are supporting SafeWork NSW as it conducts a full investigation into the incident. 'In the meantime, both Qantas and Sydney Airport have put in place enhanced safety procedures and Qantas has engaged independent experts to look at how safety can be improved on aerobridges at airports around Australia and the world.'

'This year, I hold my own mum close - not just in heart, but in gratitude,' she later posted on Instagram. 'After everything, she's here, and that alone is a miracle I don't take lightly.
