Sad, yet heroic...

Recommended Posts

A private pilot who suffered a heart attack, landed the plane safely with 3 pacs on board on a Utah highway. Once off the highway, emergency crews rushed him to the hospital, where he later died. He was responsible for saving the lives of his passengers, according to the Utah Highway Patrol spokesman.bthttp://www.startribune.com/484/story/473569.htmlPilot suffering heart attack makes emergency landing before dying

Read the story just an hour or two ago. Heroic indeed, and he showed a great deal of skill given the stress his mind and body had to be under.-John

Crying shame they couldn't save him. I only hope he really has gone to a better place, though I'm not religious.
