Propellers are the kind of thing I'd give a BIG WIDE BEARTH around, like, get out of the plane and go no where near them, same with jet engines. She's lucky she wasn't mangled and torn to bits by the plane, today she still looks fine, she's just missing a hand (though with modern cybernetics, I'm sure she could get something that looks nice and works decent enough to put a dress on and makeup, amongst other things a human being might need to do)
This was 100% the pilot’s fault. You NEVER let a passenger in/out when your engine is running. Never. #1 thing you’re thought in flight school is to shout “Clear prop!” out loud before starting the engine, and that’s to make sure nobody is around the plane when the prop is spinning. Unfortunately this is not the first nor the last time something like this happens.
There's only one failure for humanity here, and it's the fact that some people walk into moving propellers. It's like crossing the street without looking sideways and getting hit by a bus. It's sad, but it doesn't make you less of a dumbass.
She shouldn't have gotten out of the aircraft till the prop was stopped. Period! I've got to lay some of the blame on the pilot for allowing her to exit the aircraft.
All the blame is on the pilot in my opinion. I’m not exactly sure how someone manages to walk directly into a spinning propeller…but the pilot is supposed to turn the engine off before allowing people to exit in the first place…
oh really? how often are you around planes? can you list the safety procedure between takeoff and landing? I can. At night the prop is literally invisible. Ever been on a live runway? Your not the only one with your engine so it gets noisy. Wind at your face? Ya you can feel it pretty good on the other side (not hers) and only when your 3 inches away. Also it gets windy alot on the runway as there are no trees.
In the Air Force there is a LOT of safety training regarding the hard stand. Beyond the environmental conditions you state above, it's not uncommon for people to become mesmerised by rotating blades, and occasionally they just start walking towards them. I doubt that's what this editor did, but people take aircraft for granted these days and don't understand either the immediate risks, or even the psychological risks.
@richgs76 no one said it was pretty, genius. jJust something that would absolutely never happen to most people ( i wonder why?) she was probably trying to take a selfie with her ' private plane'. there's a whole lot happening to decent people worse than some girl getting her hand chopped off by 'accident'.
I'm old fashioned and I was in aviation. I would have shut down acft. and escorted her from the plane. Girls don't think of things like this. She is just a little girl and men need to protect all women from bad things.
You ARE STUPID!!! The pilot NEVER, NEVER Allows a passenger to exit the plane until ALL IS SHUT DOWN!!! You, Dumb ASS could never hold any position of responsibility with your mind set....RETARD!!!
Olive Sawyer I love how you used capital letters to emphasise your points, it’s such an old person thing to do! Enjoy your bananas and superior intelligence sir, I hope one day I can be just like you! X
are you a pilot? I am. The prop on this type of plane is literally invisible at full speed and at night you just dont go anywhere near the front of the plane. It was really her pilots fault more than hers
A blonde walked into a propeller blade? Say it isn't so! Ask her how many maps are in the world and why maps are important. I'm glad that she's okay, but you really have consequences in life when not using common sense.
She met her biggest fan.
StoneColdChewy Now that was funny right there. I dont care who ya are! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Badoom tiiiish!
i love yiu
U son of a bitch
Wtf 😳
This is why you wait until the engine is off before you get out
Same when you remove parts off a blender. Make sure you have unplugged it.
Natural selection at its finest.
How do you not notice a spinning prop? Let alone a loud ass engine? Second, how did that pilot let her get out while the engine was still running?
if it us fast enough (for the rpm) it can seem invisible

also safety briefs exist !
Yes because common sense is a relic of the past
Thats right
Damn those invisible propeller's

poor girl hope she has a beautiful life after this horrible incident love ya hun wish ya the best
If only propellers had some mechanism to warn people away, like being really loud for instance.
Or maybe a pilot with half a brain, to consider the passengers.
Or perhaps it could be a brighter color, such as white, and mabye it could be positioned specifically in the front so nobody walked into it.
Gotta watch the spinny bit folks...
It is the responsibility of the pilot to make sure the engine is off when people are outside of the airplane.
well yes.
She shouldn't have gotten out of the aircraft till the prop was stopped. Period! I've got to lay some of the blame on the pilot for allowing her to exit the aircraft.

Blessings to Lauren and family. I hope and trust she is still living her dream.

I hope she wasn't sucked into the fan blades 😟
The reporting has me rollin. This is damn near satire!
wow so sad, i really hope the best for her!!!
reporter might as well have said 'then this dumb boid walked DIRECTLY into the ONE place you shouldn't be'
Wow a blond walked into a prop, thats a joke in itself
richgs76 Must of been dumb as fuck how the fuck do you walk into a prop lmao.
@richgs76 no one said it was pretty, genius. jJust something that would absolutely never happen to most people ( i wonder why?) she was probably trying to take a selfie with her ' private plane'.

Was hoping there was a video of it
She's not dumb, it was an accident How can you be so cruel!?
ernesto garcia Because Ernesto, we’re just hoping other DUMB BLONDES learn from her mistakes.
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
jist saying if walking into amy jet engine or propeller wasn't super dumb you'd see a lot more bloodstains and dimemberments at the airport.
It's not really the pilots fault at all is it, regardless of wind and it being invisible at full speed you still know it's there?!
You ARE STUPID!!! The pilot NEVER, NEVER Allows a passenger to exit the plane until ALL IS SHUT DOWN!!! You, Dumb ASS could never hold any position of responsibility with your mind set....RETARD!!!

are you a pilot? I am. The prop on this type of plane is literally invisible at full speed and at night you just dont go anywhere near the front of the plane. It was really her pilots fault more than hers
Also in some lights due to the AC voltage the prop can appear to be still or not turning.
blonde moment
Dude you stole my thunder lol

Are you sure this has happened? There's a severe lack of... anything.
girl: hhhhmmmmmm there are markings that wil make sure no one will get injured
plane: RRRrrrrRRRrrr
girl: GuEs I wiLL waLK sTrAigt INto IT....
That's completely the pilots fault....
Theres no way she "put her hand up to block" anything at all... waaaay too fast. The hand was just hit first....
That woman is totally at fault oh, you don't walk that close to the propeller
America... Nuff said
Dumb Blonde! Edit that shit !
No video of the accident. Not worth watching.
For pilots, we don’t need video to learn lessons from this.
Don't ever lose fear of propellers.
I'm luckyI don't have enough money to buy a private plane :)
Why didn't he shut down plane then allow his date to exit.
Did it happen at night time ?
Sad story...
Darwin Awards.
So i should Always walk away from a spinning propeller not towards it... got it...
horrible accident, but how could this happen
“Person” walks into propeller, prompting ABC News story-or “pretty” person walks into propeller?
holy shit... damn that's so sad..
Natural blonde.
Ouch
why? why would you ho near a propeller??
Scruggs? More like Skruggs
pilots fault.
The Pilot was careless. He is 100% at fault, not the woman.
i don't know how she can Face such tragedy... oh wait...
i dont think humanity is failing
Totally a blonde
thats awful..
I know her
Imaiyaaa Robinsonnn No you dont! Shut the hell up!
This was another case Darwinism in action! What do you want to bet she was looking at or on her phone because that would explain her right hand!
Did her date drug her???? Wtf
Wtf run in a propeller, blond much??
well buhoooo mimimimi:(
Why do American reports shout so much and elongate the last word of each senteeennnnccceeee?
