Lawsuit claims racial and gender bias contributed to Air Force contractor's fatal accident

Credited from: APNEWS

  • The family of **Stephanie Cosme**, a 32-year-old contractor, filed a lawsuit alleging her death during a drone test was due to **gender and racial discrimination**.
  • The Air Force report indicated **training failures** contributed to the tragedy but did not cite discrimination as a factor.
  • Witness testimony suggests **hostile treatment** from testing director Derek Kirkendall, known for his alleged bias against Hispanic employees.
  • Attorneys argue that Kirkendall's behavior created **unsafe working conditions** leading to Cosme's death, describing it as a case of **gender harassment**.
  • The lawsuit seeks a jury trial and unspecified damages as Cosme's family continues to seek accountability for the shortcomings that led to her tragic death.
