Another candidate for the Darwin Award.
One less in the gene pool.
TC I don't think that was called for, or appropriate regardless of the circumstances. A fellow pilot, a life lost and a terrible lesson or reminder, for us all to learn from.
You might do well to re-read the idea of hazardous attitudes, or at least accept that all of us remain susceptible to human behavior.
Condolences to the pilot, family and friends.
