Lidle in plane crash?

[IrishofNDMan]

Just watching Sport Center, it said that Cory had been talking lately about the dangers of flying planes and the crash that JFK Jr was in. I feel bad for the guy, but I would hope someone in my family would be smart enough not to put themselves in such a deadly situation as that. It's really sad for his family. He had all the money a man could need, did he really have to fly and put himself in that danger?

FLYING IS SAFE. I feel much safer in a aircraft then i do in a car. I don't know where everyone gets this flying is such a dangerous hobby. Accidents happen in most walks of life. 2 weeks ago, a softball was killed here by a linedrive to the head. Does that mean softball is inherently dangerous... NO. JFK died becuase he thought he was a better pilot then he was. He was not rated to fly in instrument conditions and thought he could. He died because of his own stupidity. I feel sorry for him and his family, but facts are facts. I don't know Lidle's aircraft hit a building. Maybe it was mechanical, maybe it was a medical problem, maybe well never know. The point is flying is not as dangerous as non-aviators imagine.
