Blonde, bubbly fashion model Lauren Scruggs made herself the punchline of every tasteless joke about blondes, models, and women on Tuesday by walking straight into the whirling propeller blades of an airplane she had just exited.

Authorities have confirmed that it is okay to laugh about this, since she managed to survive the incident, and also because "It was a goddamn plane propellor, you colossal bimbo."

The extent of Scrugg's possible brain injuries is unknown at this point; as her treating physician put it, "I mean, how would you ever know?"

Unfortunately this happened on an annual basis when I was in the USAF.

Well, the pilot should also never have allowed someone off the plane while the propellers were still in motion. That said, she should've been wise enough to consider that herself.

 

[General Zod]

People............................This is why you should always be aware of your surroundings,and look before you walk.

Yup.

Yup.

After reading the story I realized that this could happen to me or any of my buddy's. One can't be too casual with untrained people around the aircraft. If only she had known to always avoid the plane of the propeller whether on or off. Shit. I'll be giving that briefing from now on anytime I take people up.

My last duty station was Moody AFB.When we got some c-130's in,we were told it is a safety violation to walk in between the propellers,even if the engines were off.

 

[TropicThunder]

That poor girl.

 

[Marquis De Sade]

I feel that with my sense of humor I should be laughing hysterically at this but...I feel awful for her.

 

[Bothersome]

Call me cruel, but I can't find any trace of sympathy in my cold, dead heart.

Natural selection at work, folks.

^You don't want to be standing next to someone if you come across this situation because you are liable to end up in a .^

 

[Amnesiac]

Normally I'd find this funny, but her injuries are so horrific and the fact that she made a living on her looks make this too depressing for me to find the humor in it. Hell, it coulda been Sarah Palin and I'd probably still feel too bad for her to laugh.

I'll leave that to others.

 

[Leo tickles]

What?


Why the fuck would you walk into a fucking propeller? Welp, now that her looks are gone, she can make money off of her great wisd..... oh wait.

Yeah, I'll be the bad guy and laugh at her.

 

[Bugman]

I too can find no humor in this tragic incident, and hope this poor young lady can recover from her injuries. Yes, she made a stupid mistake. Who among us has not?

 

[Korastus]

It's likely she assumed it was safe, since the pilot let her out of the plane. Ultimately, two people are at fault here, and whether it was stupid or not, it's still a painful and tragic accident no one should have to experience.

 

[maniactickler]

She might at least have a future as a potential tickling model.

Yeah, i'm actually kinda with you on this one.

It sounds like a no brainer right? But the flight line(ramp) is like no other danger area. Add in darkness and an individual that was too comfortable with her surroundings and you've got trouble. The visibility of a rotating prop is minimal during the day, at night it would be even worse. The engine makes FAR more noise than the propeller does spinning, with other aircraft taking off, landing or taxiing any person's situational awareness will be severely impacted. I can only imagine the horror of being inside the cockpit wanting to tell her to back up but your voice being drowned out by the engine. Sound like she got the tail end of the prop so i'm guessing she tried to avoid it a little bit.....just not enough. Man....those things are merciless.

Still. How do you stroll into a propeller? I mean... lalala *BOOM* ah fuck my face!! I'll never understand.

Have you been around an airplane with the propeller going? Have you ever worked around airplanes? You typically rely on your sense of sound and vision to navigate around things. On the flightline your hearing is non existent(noisy) so you're left with just sight....but there is so much going on that it's easy to get hit by something. Take off there. Taxi here. Exhaust in your face. Cover your ears. Man! I was lucky that in my 3.5 year stint working on F-16's I only hit my head 3 times...especially being as tall as I am. We'd swear the jets moved. Had so many friends that ended up with stitches because they hit their head on the wing, horizontal stabilizers and one knuckle head hit his head on the pitot static probe.....you know the needle looking thing on the front of fighter jets. We had a name for these sorts of injuries "falcon bites"...an inevitability. So if we trained guys can fuck up....I can only imagine the trouble that a model excited after her Christmas flyover could get into.

If you're ever on the flight line and you're more concerned about your conversation and not the air planes...you're wrong. That was her near fatal flaw. The birds deserve respect always.

I can't fathom being mean enough to find humor in this. That poor girl.

 

[rhiannon]

I am certainly a very mischievous person, but not even I think this is funny! The poor girl!

 

[Comfort Eagle]

Hey guys, don't mind me, I'll just be over here trying too hard and making shitty jokes for attention.

Yes and yes, I have been. At night, too. I couldn't see it very well, but common sense told me that walking towards it was probably a bad idea. :/

 

[Soda Bobinski]

Guys. Guys.

She mighta been right in the middle of a scrap w/Indiana Jones when this happened. We don't know.

 

[love feet]

That poor girl.

Yes!
