The sailor of the aircraft carrier "George W. Bush" was cut by the propeller of the aircraft

A screw aircraft killed a US Navy soldier.

The American edition of the "Navy Times" reports that 17 September 2018, a US Navy serviceman, while on the deck of the aircraft carrier "George Bush", securing the Grumman E-2 Hawkeye, was caught under a rotating screw, which resulted in being cut.

Specialists involved in the investigation of this incident, reported that, based on the testimony of witnesses, the serviceman disregarded the safety precautions and approached the rotating propeller of the aircraft. Despite attempts to save the man, it was not possible to do this - according to medical experts, the man died almost instantly.

This incident is far from the first in the US Navy - a few months ago, another soldier was killed, approached the plane with a non-stop screw, and was also cut.

In the US Department of Defense, there have been no official statements on this fact, but it is far from the first incident that we can say that little attention is paid to safety in the US Navy, which is likely to lead to even more casualties.
