I once had the pleasure in meeting Captain Al Haynes at a safety seminar. A most unassuming and quietly spoken man who exuded great passion for safety in aviation but also outside of his profession. He deeply cared about "people being prepared" for such disasters as earth quakes and spoke at many venues on this very subject.
R.I.P Captain Al Haynes
