2013 Birmingham airport fatality

The 2013 Birmingham airport fatality was an incident which occurred in the newly-renovated terminal of the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport on March 22, 2013. One of four newly-installed "multi-user flight information displays", cabinets holding display monitors, fell forward onto four members of the Bresette family of Kansas City, Missouri during a layover in Birmingham en route from Florida.

10-year old Luke Bresette died from injuries caused by the incident. His mother, Heather, was unconscious for several days. Two of her other children were also injured. Bystanders rushed to lift the cabinet, estimated to weigh 300 to 400 pounds, off of the Bresette family as emergency officials rushed to the scene.
