That is a weird article.

Sounds like what we read in Southern California every time someone
prangs into the mountains around here during a winter storm. "Oh, he
was such a good pilot!" (translated, "Now, if only that nasty
mountain hadn't gotten in his way!")


True.

Have you ever read of anyone's saying: "He was a careless guy who was
bound to crash someday?"

If one goes by the media testimony of acquaintences, only good pilots
crash.
