Dead Delta employee unrecognizable after tire explosion in Atlanta, says son

Mirko Marwegone of two workers killed in an airplane tire explosion at a Delta Air Lines maintenance facility at Atlanta International Airport on Tuesday was unrecognizable after the explosion … his son, Andre Colemanhas betrayed.

Following the tragedy that left two people dead and another seriously injured, Andre spoke to 11Alive News about the grave condition of his father's remains following the incident that left Marweg dead.

Andre had asked to see his father's body after the explosion because he couldn't believe his father was actually dead. But the medical examiner told Andre and his relatives that Mirko's body was “unrecognizable.” Officials identified Mirko by tattoos and a Mississippi state ribbon around his neck.

As TMZ previously reported … firefighters and police rushed to the Delta TechOps hangar near the international terminal at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport early Tuesday after a tire has burst while it was removed for maintenance.

Mirko, who had worked at Delta for over 20 years, was planning to retire in a few months, according to his son. He was only 58.

Andre remembered his father as a devoted family man who recently helped him change the oil on his motorcycle.

The other victim was identified as Luis Aldarondo … a 37-year-old man from Newnan, Georgia.

The identity of the injured employee has not yet been determined, but Delta confirmed that the person is still receiving medical treatment.
