Almost saw someone crash

In a previous article, (LF TIGER) said:
It was a very frustrating situation- she had nearly killed herself,
apparently knew why it had happened, and seemed to think this was a normal
activity of flying (let alone damaging her 1997 Bonanza A-36)

This sounds like the type of person who ends up killing her passengers or
people on the ground, walks away unscathed, and then gets rich by sueing the
aircraft manufacturer.

Oh, you mean Steve Wozniak?

Better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. And if he can't
be bothered to learn to fish and starves to death, that's a good enough
outcome for me. -- Steve VanDevender

Only once. But he sued Beech afterwards because the plane didn't prevent
him from getting behind the yoke without any experience or instruction in
a complex plane.

So logically, if she weighs the same as a duck, she's made of wood, and
therefore a witch.

Just once? Then how is Wozniak the type of person who ends up killing his
passengers or people on the ground, walks away unscathed, and then gets rich
by suing the aircraft manufacturer?

Well, let's see: He crashed his plane, put himself and a couple of
passengers in the hospital (he was in a coma), walked away (eventually)
and sued the aircraft manufacturer. How is he NOT that type of person?

Never meddle in the affairs of NT. It is slow to boot and quick to crash.

Well, let's see; he didn't kill any passengers, he didn't kill anyone on the
ground, and he didn't walk away from the crash unscathed. Is that enough?

Then the million dollar question: Did he get rich?

Surely he didn't win a lawsuit for this???

Google couldn't find much raw web material on this 1981 incident
involving N2WZ, but according to their Usenet archive, he did not win
the lawsuit.

Woz managed to make a little money from Apple as well.
