Ha, that is definitely not type of abandoned that I was expecting. That poor chap who was killed, what an incredibly unlucky event for him.

Can you imagine the odds? Literally ... any of us could go, at any time. That's what gets me whenever I think about this.

Ça plane pour moi

I have an irrational fear of dying from an airplane crashing into me. It doesn't help that friends of friends of mine were victims in this from just a few weeks ago:

>> I have an irrational fear of dying from an airplane crashing into me.

I don't, but sometimes I have dreams like that, whether it's an aeroplane or a helicopter or whatever.

I live near am airfield and just recently I asked my assurance company if they would assure agains airplane crash which they indeed do!

But alas, if it crashes while inside, it does not really matter...

I think I know the feeling. I had these nightmares as a kid about wolfes or 'cartoon heatseeking missiles' hunting me, like it was the same nightmare/feeling.

Didn't that happen in DC recently? Remember that US military plane that went missing and was found many kms away from where the pilot ejected?
