They take so many risks but they are so good at what they do. I am surprised that it doesnt happen more often. RIP

That, or the fact he hadnt planned on clipping a tree, at which point there likly wasnt enough time to bail.

for clipping a damn tree? yes he's going to be held responsible for this. Maybe the gov will ask for his family to reimburse them for the millions lost in the crash as well. STFU already.

the only person to blame for his death is himself...where did i say anything about the family paying shit

im just saying is that...he is a trained and must be very good pilot and if he clipped a team that is neglect...only fortunate thing is that his neglect only cost him his own life and not others.

its not fair to immediately assume pilot error. sure, that line of work is extremely dangerous so you could blame him for taking that risk, but you sound like typical, retarded, 'trying to get a rise of people' pyro when you immediately claim the crash was based on his neglect rolleyes:

Especially when there still investigating the mechanical side of it. If it was a bird, at the altitude they fly there was no saving it. Theres no means of a pilot avoiding that as well.

I'm guessing he passed out. I don't think that the Blue Angels wear those G-force suits.

RIP
