Two people who died from an explosion caused by a plane tire have been identified as an Air Force veteran and a father of two.

Luis Aldarondo Jr and Mirko Marweg were two dedicated employees at Delta Air Lines, who unfortunately lost their lives on Tuesday morning while working at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. They were both identified as the victims of a tragic incident where a plane tire exploded. Mirko, 58, and Luis, 37, were both highly respected members of the Delta team, and their unexpected deaths have left their colleagues and loved ones in shock and mourning.

Mirko, a US Air Force veteran, had previously worked for the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority before joining Delta. He was known as "Mr. Fix-It" by his family because of his passion for helping others. Luis, on the other hand, was a loving father to a young son and daughter, and his wife, Sonia, was his biggest support. He also shared a close bond with his mother, Juliet Perez.

The incident occurred at the TechOps Tire facility, where the two men were working on changing the wheel of a Boeing 757 aircraft. Sadly, the wheel components they were disassembling for maintenance exploded, causing their untimely deaths. Another Delta worker was critically injured in the explosion, and their identity has not been disclosed at this time.

In a memo to employees, Delta TechOps Chief of Operations and President John Laughter expressed his grief over the loss of their colleagues and assured that the company is fully supporting the families of the victims. The cause of the explosion is currently under investigation, and the company is determined to find out what went wrong.

Marweg's son, Andrew Coleman, was devastated upon receiving the news of his father's death. He described his body as "unrecognizable" and revealed that they could only identify him through his tattoos and a lanyard he always carried with him. He also shared how his father was always there for him and his family, willing to lend a helping hand whenever needed.

Similarly, Aldarondo's son and daughter, along with his wife, are struggling to come to terms with the loss of their beloved husband and father. His family and friends remember him as an amazing person and a devoted family man.

As the Delta community mourns the loss of their colleagues, they are also praying for the speedy recovery of the injured worker. The entire company is standing together to support the families of the victims and is determined to find out the cause of this tragic incident. Mirko and Luis will always be remembered as dedicated employees and loving individuals who left an impact on everyone they knew.
