2000 was a rough year on sports figures

In a lot of ways I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often. You wanna know why flying cars aren't a thing that's likely to happen in several lifetimes? There's your answer.

Flying is a constant fight against physics and it takes so very little for tragedy to strike. If you're lucky you walk away but more often than not you don't.
As a man growing up watching the Jetsons we can still dream the dream though.

The fact he flew the chopper himself and 5 on board... I have a bad feeling this story is going to get much worse in the next few hours.

Commercial air flight is incredibly safe. Private air flight is...not. Seems like we have at least a plane per year go down here in Colorado. The air currents in the mountains are unpredictable and take down people who aren't experienced enough to handle it.

We have a family member that is one of the private Pilots for the Walmart execs. He flies them all over the world

He talks about how underprepared people always are for what they get into flying wise

RIP
I feel their jobs require them to fly so often, and its considered the safest transportation and its convenient to be in Texas in the morning and California at night

Now that I think we can dismiss the rumors about his daughter's, absolutely not.

I was talking to some friends just a few days ago about how I would never get on a helicopter if it’s up to me. I just hear about this shit way too often with famous people, let alone any normal person.

Man I could cry and I don’t even watch much basketball. It is that sad.
