I don't know how many of you have been following this, nor do I really care if there's another thread about it.
Cliffs:
-F/A-18 pilot on training mission loses power to one engine, tries to fly back to Miramar (San Diego)
-Loses power to 2nd engine, by all accounts goes into a flatspin (Top Gun anyone?), ejects.
-out of control plane hits SD suburb, demolishing one house containing a woman, grandmother, infant, and small child all related to one Korean man who was at work
-Korean man prays for pilot, hoping that he doesn't feel remorse for the accident
My god. I hear stories all the time of people going out of their way to help those who are less fortunate, but here is a man who has lost everything and yet asks for nothing, places blame on no one but chance, and who holds no grudge against the one person the media would love to villify in this whole thing. I'm not normally moved by these human interest stories but I am utterly dumbfounded by this man's composure.
In this time of hardship for all Americans we should take a lesson from a man who has only been in this country half his life.
