G U A T E M A L A C I T Y, Sept. 4 — Doctors reattached three fingers to the hand of a a 16-year-old pop singer, after they were severed by a helicopter rotor as he waved to fans.
Ricardo Abarca was getting off the aircraft at a Guatemala City airport on Saturday. In raising his hand to greet fans, he put it into the still-whirling rotor.
"The index finger and middle finger are completely recovered," surgeon Gustavo Lopez said Wednesday. "We only have some problems with blood circulation in the little finger."
Abarca, who had only recently joined the popular teen group Mageneto, was still hospitalized in Guatemala Wednesday.

Excuse me for being ignorant about travel be helicopter, I've never actually ridden in one or anything but seen enough of them on TV, at State Fairs and stuff, and just flying over to know that them blades are spinning really fast, and you don't want to touch them.
