No, he was *injured* by his own stupidity. *He was alert and talking to the
first people who arrived on-scene but died, fully conscious, when flames

until their portable extinquishers ran out. *A faster response by trained,

A faster response "might " have saved him... That was a big issue in
the case. My point is had he flown his plane properly and not crashed
then the legal system would not be churning through its bizarre
course. I still content the hundreds of innocent spectators who
watched a man burn alive are mentally scarred for life but for the
pilots stupidity. For that the estate with 10 million should have to
pay them all..... It is the ol saying,,, "live by the sword, die by
the sword.

Over and out.
