Many people die in plane crashes on the way to hospitals,
weddings and funerals. Several friends of mine died in just
that way and for those reasons, "Got to be there for the
_______." There are people who have airplanes and pilots
who can fly in bad weather, they're called charter
operators. In critical need cases they even sometimes offer
discounts or even free services. But if you are not
qualified to safely complete a trip to delivery the organs,
medicine or what ever, the trip isn't likely to be
successful and everyone dies, in the plane and as a result
of the pilot's over estimation of the skill and equipment
needed.
