Texas 9-year-old Isaac Armstead credits his faith in God for his incredible survival after walking into a airplane propeller going full speed — and living to talk about it.<\/p>\n
The prop split his head open and took off his right hand. However, the fourth grader is adjusting — even learning to play video games left-handed although he’s a right-hander. <\/p>\n
“The accident happened August 3, 2011,” reports KIII-TV in Corpus Christi, Texas. “Isaac’s father David, a Navy Captain stationed out of Naval Air Station Kingsville was in Afghanistan at the time.<\/p>\n
“Back here at home a family friend had bought a new private airplane, and took Isaac out for a flight, on the way back, the unexpected happened.<\/p>\n
Isaac’s Mother Tiffanie Armstead told KIII-TV that, “it was dark and it was really late at night, my son hadn’t seen me in 2 weeks,” so he rushed toward with her — right into the spinning propeller.<\/p>\n
Isaac says, “I wasn’t thinking, because I really wanted to see her, and the propeller was spinning so fast I couldn’t see it, and so I walked into it and it hit my face.”<\/p>\n
Isaac put his hand up to block his face from getting hit again, that’s when the propeller took Isaac’s hand, Isaac then put up his arm for protection.<\/p>\n
Here is Isaac’s story as told by the TV news team:<\/p>\n
