A Canadian father's five-month-old baby was killed in an accident on a conveyor belt at an airport in Spain Wednesday, an airport official said.
The mother, an American, had arrived in Alicante from London just before midnight with another young child and put the baby on the belt where the oversized luggage arrives, a spokewoman with Spain's airport management company, AENA, told QMI Agency Thursday.
It is not clear how the baby died. The spokeswoman said the infant may have been crushed.
The father, a Canadian, was waiting at the airport to pick his family up. He was not in the secured area at the time of the death.
Spanish police are investigating.
I hear that. On the other hand, I'm so sick of people driving themselves and their children crazy to be "well travelled"--happen to have a pet peeve about the itchy-footed "bragabonds." So tired of people who live to post their vacations on Facebook.
How true.
Dreadful. RIP.
