Turbulence leg-break ended my dream job

A FLIGHT attendant who broke her leg in seven places in turbulence has won a payout but admits: "It doesn't bring back what I've lost."

Eden Garrity, 31, can no longer do the job she loved after her right ankle snapped during a hailstorm.

She was pushing a catering trolley on the Thomas Cook flight from Cuba to Manchester when the plane shot up 500ft.
