Miraculix: No wind-up intended.
I'm qouting from the newspaper article here:
"I moved to an aisle seat on the left-hand side of the plane, which was right in line with the two
propellers
," Primeaux explained. "I was not comfortable about this but felt since the crew had
me move, all would be OK. It did, at one time, cross my mind that if something happened, the
prop could come through the side of the plane and hit me."
In hindsight, Primeaux said that if he would have remained in his assigned seat, he may have
not received the cut to his hand because after the crash those seated in Row 2 did not sustain
any injuries."
To me, that means that they did not move people away from the prop area on this occasion. Or am I wrong? I know they moved people on the later incidents but for the Aalborg one, seems not?
Otherwise I think the eye witness account is quite comprehensive, accurate and very interesting.
