Air Disasters, that cover that tragic crash. JFK jr really wasnt rated to fly by training when he took off. A private pilot offered to fly them to their destination due to weather conditions. Kennedy said no.

It's funny you should mention the JFK Jr case- this current crisis reminded me of that.

Hubris.

plane off a cliff like John Denver. Or getting killed driving a car that only a race car driver should be driving.

We've list a lot of talent over the years.

If I had 100 million. But I'm a scaredy-cat. I guess I could afford one parachute jump with an instructor. But I'm too scared to.
