Kansas: A 37-year-old professional US photographer died after she backed into plane’s propeller as she was trying to take a picture at an airfield in Kansas, officials said.
The photographer identified as Amanda Gallagher, was capturing photos of individuals boarding and exiting planes when she backed into an active aeroplane propeller. She received critical injuries around 2.40. She was immediately transported to a local hospital where she succumbed to her injuries.
The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement Monday that it would investigate the incident along with the National Transportation Safety Board.
A GoFundMe campaign set up to help Ms Gallagher’s loved ones with funeral expenses which has raised over $14000 so far.
