Camden plane crash: Haunting video emerges of boy pilot, 16,
who died alone as his identity is revealed and his school
is hit by back-to-back tragedies
Boy, 16, killed in plane crash
He was a talented Year 12 student
Death is school's second in just weeks
. . .
Hey, SHIT HAPPENS.
I got a pilots license at 17, minimum age in the USA.
IMHO, I was pretty good, esp under pressure, though
not really suited for like aerobatics or whatever.
I've got the "panic LATER/NEVER" personality. If
shit happens you just DEAL. Hell, once landed at
NEGATIVE ground-speed due to a massive T-storm.
Really cool.
Then there was a massive oil embargo and fuel prices
spiraled out of sight. Couldn't even get the right
fuel for small planes, which caused engine problems.
BUT, things CAN go wrong, whether you're 16 or 66.
Hmmmm ... I usually say I've led a boring life, but
when I think back, I got stuck in a lot of really
dangerous/weird events. Ever been cave-diving ?
Attacked by large hostile bears ? On a 14000+ foot
mountaintop during a lightning storm ? Surrounded
by sharks in bloody waters ? Had to dodge a multi
18-wheeler truck crash on a motorcycle at 140 kph ?
Maybe my life wasn't so boring after all :-)
SO ... I choose to COMMEND the abovementioned young
guy. He WENT FOR IT. Didn't turn out well, but at
least he WENT FOR IT.
