Kobe Bryant dies in helicopter crash

[Buffalo Bob]

I actually knew a plane crash survivor. The step father of an employee lost power in a small Cessna and landed in a large vacant lot, but the plane flipped due to the uneven ground he landed on. Both legs were badly broken and he was still using a wheelchair when I met him almost a year after the accident. Even after that he felt small planes were safe as you only need a space the size of a football field to land one in. He said he would fly again after his legs got good enough to walk more than a couple steps. I think the guy was nuts, he got lucky once, why push it?
