Bizarro Baseball Land
You know all those people who tell you that it's rediculous to be afraid of flying because it is SO unlikely that you will die in a plane crash? Well I sure hope no one said that to Bob Cartwright.
He was a close friend of Cory Lidle's flight instructor, Tyler Stanger, who also happened to be his personal pilot. He was supposed to be in the plane with Lidle and Stanger which crashed into a building on the Upper East Side of Manhattan on October 11.
He opted out of that flight, boarded another one on Tuesday, headed for Las Vegas, only 34 days after Lidle died. In a frightening twist of fate this plane also crashed, and this time Stanger was not so lucky.
Amazingly this is not even the most insane part of the story. Another man, Rod Watkins, was supposed to be on both Lidle's flight, AND the one to Vegas, but could not make either, and each time, learned later that the planes had crashed.
ATTENTION ROD WATKINS: STAY OUT OF AIRPLANES!!!!!
