i worked at an engine overhaul shop for a few years and one time we got an engine in off a Dash-8 for overhaul that was identified as "Sudden Stoppage" as the reason for removal.
according to the airline, a female ground crew was walking backwards toward the aircraft while talking to another person and didn't realize how close she was to the prop. a few passengers on that side of the aircraft saw what was going on and were banging on the windows and yelling but of course that was useless. this chick backed into the prop and was killed instantly. several of the passengers immediately threw up.
stuff like this happens more than people realize.
