Bad luck for the runner and bad forward visibility for the pilot. He solved his landing problem. I suppose the loss of the prop pushed the CG back a bit and raised the nose.

That poor guy, if only he had been having a lazy drink in the bar, or asleep. He would have had no idea he was in trouble. I feel for the pilot who is blameless but has to live with it.

So I thought there was something strange about this story. It happened at Hilton Head, SC and was reported in the Dallas newspaper on 17 March, 2010. Why are we discussing it now?

Good catch Tom. Even interesting even if it was March 2011. Why did it take so long? Why now?
I must say I distrust all major media, AP and Reuters are at the top of my "Must Verify" list. And they are the majority of supply for newspapers and stuff.
I'd say they are in dire need of distracting news.

Wow, oops. Someone mentioned it to me that same day as if it were a current news item, so I Googled it assuming it was recent news. I didn't even see the "Published March 17, 2010." My fault, not AP's, flaming.

I just checked the NTSB records. After all this time they have only issued a brief statement of the facts. The aircraft was constructed by the pilot so there seems to be no need to investigate why the prop came off.
