A photographer has died on a Kansas airfield after she backed up into an airplane propeller while taking pictures.
Amanda Gallagher, 37, was critically injured and later died as she was taking photos at Cook Airfield near Derby, Kansas.
Gallagher often took skydiving photos and was a keen skydiver herself, which is what she was doing on Saturday when she died.that Air Capital Drop Zone, a skydiving company based in Kansas, released a statement saying that Gallagher was on one of its flights to take photos. “After the airplane landed, for unknown reasons, as the next group of jumpers were boarding, she moved in front of the wing, a violation of basic safety procedures,” the statement reads. “With her camera up to shoot photos as she did so, she stepped back slightly moving toward and into the spinning propeller.”“Our hearts go out to the family and friends of the young lady who died yesterday after a tragic accident with an airplane propeller on Cook Airfield.
“On October 26th, Amanda passed away in a very sad accident, doing what she loved, skydiving and taking pictures! As her family processes through this tragic accident, they could use your help covering the funeral expenses. Please consider helping them out and also keeping them all in your prayers.”“Love you Amanda, I will always remember you my friend, thank you for always being a positive light in my life,” writes one person.
