Texas Model Walks Into Plane Propeller

A fashion model and magazine editor was
recovering in a hospital Tuesday after severing her hand and suffering
severe facial injuries when she walked into a spinning airplane
propeller in north Texas.


Witnesses said that Lauren Scruggs, 23, had
just stepped off the plane at a private airport in McKinney, Texas, on
Saturday night when she apparently walked in front of the propeller. She
was taken by helicopter to the hospital,where she underwent several surgeries over the weekend.

Surgeons had to amputate Scruggs' left hand,
and the accident caused severe damage to her shoulder and head, the New
York Post reported.


Scruggs, who lives in Plano, Texas, is the
editor of the online fashion magazine LOLO and has also worked in the
costume department of the show "Gossip Girl."


Speaking to “Good Morning America”
Tuesday, Scruggs’ parents said they weren’t sure exactly what happened
when she walked into the propeller, but that they believed she was going
to thank the pilot when the accident occurred.


Family members, who have been posting
updates on her condition on the CaringBridge website, said Scruggs'
operations went well and that she was learning the extent of her
injuries. Scruggs also began speaking, they said, saying her name and
telling family members she loved them.


"To the doctors and her family's delight,
Lauren said a few words this afternoon," they wrote Monday evening. "We
pray that her brain will continue to heal and have full restoration!"
They added, "She is able to open her right
eye to see, while her left eye is still bandaged. Please continue to
pray for the vision of her left eye, as we will not know the status of
her sight for some time."


Scruggs’ parents said doctors told them that it would be a long road to recovery due to the nature of her injuries.


“The most important thing is that she loves
the lord, but besides that, she’s a fun-loving, gregarious, outgoing
young lady that’s never met a stranger,” her father said Tuesday. “She
would give you the shirt off her back if you needed it.”


Scruggs’ parents also thanked friends,
family and supporters for the “overwhelming love” they had received
following the accident.

I feel REALLY bad for her, but at the same time... how the fuck do you just walk into a propeller? Why wouldn't you be ALERT and PAYING ATTENTION as you step off a plane with a running engine?
