Sexual Chocolate, that is a great story, Bill was incredibly lucky to have survived.
There's another thread somewhere about the AF crash of an A340 at YYZ in 2005, where everyone walked away. Yet some are suing for $1.4 million a piece, no doubt "traumatized" by their accident, and "suffering" from post-traumatic stress disorder from having their Louis Vuitton luggage barbecued.

Yet this guy hurtles down from 78,000 ft from an experimental airplane that disintegrated at M3, with his dead crewman hurtling down next to him. And what does he do two weeks later?

He gets right back into another one and flies it. You'd think he just had a minor fender bender in the supermarket parking lot...


Balls of steel!
