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.

    That has to do morseso with the rise of soldering as a semi common method of welding or whatever you want to call it. Before the 20th century soldering was a blacksmiths use meaning it was a much rarer word to hear. Most folks will look at the spelling and assume thats how its pronounced. Hell most folks in my area who are younger than 30 pronounce it with an l.

    Also the singular sold is still preserved in slang. Namely ad sod. Soldering was a filling method, and a person getting filled is called getting fucked. So to sod someone is to fuck someone.
