She's a model. She saw a runway. She had to.
Wow, how the hell does this even happen? I'm stumped.

Unless they are folks that I absolutely can trust, they remain seated till the props stop.
I don't put all the blame on her until I hear how she was instructed by the pilot.
Dad used to sell Beechcraft and Piper planes (late '60s to early '80s). He had a friend who was hit by the rear prop of a helicopter (small two- seater) and survived. IIRC it was part of his arms and part of face, he didn't look good at all when I met him (early '70s). Never bothered asking how often it happens. Common sense would be never to leave a plane/helicopter while the propellers are still down spinning.
Lost a hand plus many other serious injuries:

Blech. Poor guy. I don't understand how you could not be in constant fear of these rapidly spinning death blades.

Single engine, yes.
Twin engine, usually no.
You may be right but are wrong for assuming everyone should know this, even ones who perhaps have never flown in a small prop plane before. Thanks for the autistic perspective tho.
Clearly, these "propellers" represent an unnecessary danger to public safety and legislation should be introduced to eliminate them from all aircraft, immediately.
"One of the things I'd have to look at is why in the world a pilot permitted a passenger to board or deboard while a propeller was turning."
