I briefly heard about this yesterday, and wondered what the details were. I told my wife that the guy was probably jogging with his i-pod on, and was struck from behind by the plane. Terrible - left behind a wife and 2 small kids.
 
Yeah, I saw a little of this yesterday. The odds of this happening have to be astronomical. A lone jogger on the beach killed by a crashing plane...the things that had to align for this to happen.

I mean, 30 seconds to a minute of time in either direction could have saved him. Leaving earlier or later for the jog, same for the plane. Just crazy man.

A friend of mine is a claims adjuster for a large insurance company. He tells the story of a man who worked at a legal firm in Washington, DC for 15-20 years. Every day he walks out the door for lunch, turns left and goes 4 blocks down to a deli. One day, out of the clear blue he gets a wild hair and turns right, walks 6 blocks to a new deli and is headed back.

Don't you know this would be one of those days a nor'easter is blowing. His path takes him by a building being renovated and the wind blows an unsecured port-o-pot off the third floor which lands on him and kills him. Number up indeed.
 
Crazy Lancair experimental aircraft ! They'll kill us all!

Oh man I wish that clip had the funeral. I never laughed so hard at a TV funeral as I did at that one.
