Yeah this isn't really an onion article come to life. We need better standards here
Not very oniony. Condolences to her family
Article says she was a skydiver herself, but she apparently had little to no situational awareness around running aircraft.
Think she got the shot?
She left the lens cap on
I saved a coworker from walking into a propeller at least once when I worked on the ramp. I noticed he kept getting a little too close without really seeming to notice what he was doing, so I kept an eye on him. Had to grab him eventually. Pissed me off. We worked with Dash-8 aircraft, big ol’ propellers. I raised some questions about it with our boss, so he asked this guy some more questions about why THE HELL he would even be that way, ended up talking to this guy’s mother?? for some reason, who informed him that this guy had a learning disability that we weren’t aware of. It explained some other things about this guy, but it just gives me shivers each time I think about it.
Fuck that's gruesome. Article says she stepped backwards into the propeller. I cannot imagine why she should have been allowed anywhere near the front of the propeller.
General aviation airports often have little or no staff and only rudimentary access controls. People walking around aircraft are expected to be responsible for their own safety.
Says she died in hospital. So probably wasn't minced.
That's just tragic.
