Damn, respect and props to those officers. Thanks for sharing. Sometimes, you gotta roll the hard six | |||

| Thank you Very little  |
Great work that is one lucky guy that the police were there to get him out. | |||

| Page late and a dollar short |
Damn, looks like the pilot and the guy videoing the second one were both lucky to be alive. That flying piece of fuselage at bare minimum should have hurt like hell. -------------------------------------—————— ————————--Ignorance is a powerful tool if applied at the right time, even, usually, surpassing knowledge(E.J.Potter, A.K.A.

The old movie Final Destination comes to mind. If I were that guy, I might go live in a padded room for a while. Or go buy a lottery ticket and empty my savings spending it all on hookers and blow. | |||

The angel of death is after that guy. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

Yep. it's a good thing, bad thing. "Oh, no! My plane has a problem." "Good thing I was able to land it." "Shit! There's a train headed straight for me." "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||
