Has this been discussed here?
DALLAS - The editor of a Dallas-area online fashion magazine has been severely hurt after walking into the propeller of a small airplane following a flight to view Christmas lights.
Complete story here. I heard this morning someone is questioning the pilots actions.

Yes, it was discussed here a while ago so I can't produce the link easily.

I've read a little about it.
Blame is being placed on the pilot for not shutting down the engine while passengers were exiting. To me it is a little like walking out onto a firing range, it is just something you don't do. I suppose some people are not very aware of the world around them and end up hurt. |

NTSB report says he told her to walk to the rear of the plane, and even directed her with his arm.

I've been around small planes a little and find it hard to imagine how someone could walk into a spinning prop even in the relative darkness.

Does she know how it happened or is she stumped?
Sorry...
