Jogger listening to iPod hit by airplane - geez what are the chances?!

KatanaDV20 · 17 Mar 2010 at 18:53

Talk about a one in a zillion chance. Talk about just plain *unlucky*.

This dude went jogging on the beach listening to his iPod when hes struck and killed by an airplane that was in the process of making an emergency landing after an engine failure.

What an utterly random way to go.

I dunno if theres any case to be made for the MP3 player as because the planes engine was not running he wouldnt have heard it?

And this is why i believe all planes should have horns.

This is exactly why I don't have an iPod. They're just plain dangerous. :mad:

actual ROFL

It's a good job I'd swallowed my mouthful of beer, I've only just cleaned my keyboard

I want to know if he was listening to something by Jefferson Airplane. Or Wings for that matter.
Or R.Kelly's 'I believe I can fly'
Or 'Wind beneath my wings' by various artists.
Or 'Come fly with me'

or...

Lol!! Good one!! One of them massive air-horns the big rigs use!

given that it was an emergency landing.. surely...

"Flying without wings.." would have been more appropriate

This happened to a guy with a helicopter too didn't it?
