Have you ever read of anyone's saying: "He was a careless guy who

bound to crash someday?"

Actually, yes. A very experienced pilot was killed and his passenger
almost killed when doing something the whole aviation community had
seen
him repeatedly do, and many of his peers had counseled him. Very sad
that it happened, of course ... but yes, people predicted it before it
happened and were saying *exactly* what you quoted above after.

Yes, but we were talking about what we see quoted in the media.

A recent fatal crash around here had very similar circumstances to the
ones you describe, but the "We told him so!" comments never appeared on
TV.
