I mean really, figure the odds! Running along, rocking out to some Rush or the Clash, to be hit by some dude excited to actually survive his prop departing the plane...

Pobably 10 feet left, right, or further behind and he lives...proof even God uses the old Leupold once in a while...

Unbelievable. And a IV-P none-the-less.

That's okay, I still want one.

My grandfather landed a plane on the beach at some Navy base back in the day... couple sailors help dig his mains out and then takes back off. (im sure there was a little explaining, while whatever got fixed) None the less. The times, they are a changing

This guy was a father of 2, I feel bad for his family. It must have been a horrible scene. I can't imagine a plane crashing down on me while I'm out for a jog.
Poor guy.

From the article:

"Even with oil smeared on the windshield, Schiavo says the pilot should have been able to see through a small window on the side of the plane and possibly yell out to anyone below."

Good gravy. My opinion of the NTSB just went down a notch. Not just Monday-morning quarterbacking, but RIDICULOUS Monday-morning quarterbacking. Yell out the window Ace Ventura-style into 85-100 knot windblast when you're doing a LAPL to the beach with an oil-coated windscreen? WTFO? That's absurd.

Yeah, me thinks there is probably a reason Schiavo is former NTSB. . . . I saw the same shit and couldn't believe it.

How do you get run over by a plane which flies in the air

The same way you somehow ask a VERY STUPID question without reading the article which spurred the thread. Actually, they aren't related in any way whatsoever. Oh well.

 

[RadicalDude]

This is why I don't jog.

The same way my squadron had a midair with two deer in FL. And second the why I don't go running....O..R..M. lol

 

[Mr. Blonde]

Was about to go for a run around the neighborhood, but seeing as how I live near the approach end of rwy 17 at KPNS, I think I'll now stay in and drink a beer instead.

RTFA...you disgrace Gunnery Sergeant Ermey with your lack of attention to detail...
