Tom Guntly was flying his small plane in Wausau, Wisc., when the propeller fell off. It fell 1,500 feet and plunged into the ground “like a hot knife in butter,” police said. Guntly said the bolts holding the propeller on apparently snapped. He was able to glide back to the airport for a safe landing. “I feel quite lucky,” he said. (AP) ...If he was “lucky” it wouldn’t have fallen off in the first place.
