Mexican teen idol loses fingers

Richi Abarca is a 16-year-old singer in Mexican
teen band Magneto. Last weekend the band visited
Guatemala City by helicopter, and were met at
the airport by hordes of Magento fans.

As Richi got off the helicopter he raised his
hands to greet his fans. Unfortunately, the
rotor blades were still going round... and
sliced off four of his fingers.

Luckily three fingers were found... spread out
over a 100m radius - and re-attached. The index
and middle fingers are making a full recovery,
but there are circulation problems affecting the
little finger. Richi's ring finger is still
missing.

Hopefully it'll turn up on Ebay...
