Stephanie Cosme, 32, was killed last year when she inadvertently walked into the rotating propeller of an aircraft in California
A US air force civilian contractor had become disoriented recording data at an airport in California last year when she walked into a jet’s rotating propeller and was killed, officials said on Friday.
In a statement outlining the findings of a report into the contractor’s death, the air force materiel command said that 32-year-old Stephanie Cosme was mortally injured on 7 September when she inadvertently walked into the rotating propeller of an MQ-9A that was parked at Gray Butte airfield.
Really? Ever wonder where the word “Soccer” came from?
It’s an abbreviation of “association football”.
Why Americans would call gridiron football when it involves neither feet nor balls, now, that truly boggles the mind.
It USED to involve a lot more kicking than it currently does. The rules have changed considerably over the years, but the name never did. That’s the reason if you were actually curious.
First, why would I care? Second, I do know where it comes from. Third, how does futball relate to the discussion?
