Default Is not flying safe?

Terrible story that basically boils down to the fact that if his wife
hadn't bitched and let him learn to fly he would probably be alive

today.

Any number of things, including having shown up at the airport that day

just
a little earlier or a little later, would likely have changed the outcome.

However, I know lots of people who *are* pilots who still do stuff like
standing around watching *other* pilots fly. I see no reason to suggest
that this guy lost his life *because* he wasn't a pilot. That's just
absurd. He could just as easily have been standing where he was whether

or
not he was a pilot.
