If it was so important that she was a mother of three...maybe she should have stayed AWAY from this kind of work.
 
Maybe my memory is blunted somewhat, but I seem to remember that "the pilot is ultimately responsible for the safety of the flight." I also seem to remember that a flight is from initial taxi to destination. I welcome any disagreement on my assessment.

They were doing maintenance on it. So mechanics were most likely in charge and running the engine.

”…apparently as part of a maintenance check.

A National Transportation Safety Board spokeswoman said Monday that there had been an earlier problem with the engine Buchanan was working on -- so its cowling was removed at the time of the accident.”

Ultimately he has to answer for it. He has to take all prudent cautions.

He can NOT control the willful actions of others. In the cockpit, he can only order and display various safety beacons and barriers. He could not physically ward off this woman.

So, he's answerable; but that doesn't mean he's disciplined for things and persons he has no control over.
 

Animated Video Shows What Happens To a Human Body if Sucked Into an Airplane Engine​

Have you ever wondered what would happen to your body if you were ever sucked into a airplane engine? Well, this CG animated video will show you, and it’s not pretty.

The video is titled Human Body Vs. Airplane Engine and it was created by atomic marvel, who used a physics simulation to toss a particle-based digital body into an Airbus jet engine.

I’m not sure how accurate this is, but one thing is for certain, anyone who gets sucked into an airplane engine will die and it will be a bloody mess.
