Earlier this month, Lauren Scruggs, a writer and commentator on fashion, was seriously injured in an aviation accident. After riding in a chartered, commercial flight to view Christmas lights, Scruggs inadvertently walked into the propeller of the small plane. As a result, she has lost her hand and an eye and remains in the hospital recovering.
Ironically, the reason that Scruggs was injured was because she was returning to thank the pilot for the trip. The pilot, however, had left the propeller running, a violation of standard operating procedures. In fact, at least one other flyer has called him out on his negligence, pointing out that traditionally no one – not even the pilot – is permitted to exit a small aircraft before the propellers come to a full and complete stop.
