Didn't see a thread on this. Is it wrong for me to giggle?

A man riding a lawn mower was seriously injured after he was hit by a small plane.
The incident happened Saturday at North Carolina?s Taylorsville Airport.
The NY Daily News reports the pilot, 84-year-old Edward Sisson, was flying in from Crossville, Tennessee and was trying to touch down on a grassy landing strip. Sisson ended up hitting John Ruffy, 74, as he rode a lawn mower going in the same direction.
Ruffy?s hand was severed by the plane?s propeller, and he was airlifted to a nearby hospitalized where he remains in critical condition. Sisson was not injured.
Officials said the airport is privately owned and does not have a traffic control operator.
The National Transportation and Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration are investigating the incident. No charges have been filed in the case.
