Back to the original topic, I'm certainly not advocating drunk driving, but it would be interesting to know the BAC. Was the accident caused by being truly drunk, or was it a case where he had just a few beers and was barely over the limit. He'll need the best attorney money can buy in any case.

Wow. I knew that was theoretically possible, but wow. Actually 23-24 would probably be the absolute limit on that...

Last year when my wife had our twins, the social worker came to see us since we were having multiples. I mentioned that I ran into a lady in the hall and congratulated her but she wasn't happy.
Social worker told us she was 42 and the great grandmother. Had a 26 year old daughter, 13 year old granddaughter and newborn great grandchild.
Ugh. Florida

In stories like this one, I think that the media is too quick to point that the alleged whomever is "a pilot" more than any other occupation.
What does it matter if he would have been a Private pilot and a ramper vs a professional pilot?
God mine had me at 33 and will most likely die before 58, and is a few years out from being a Gma(knock on wood). This is a sad story, this guy threw his life away, but I do not at all feel bad for him if it is true he was drunk. I wish bad press would stop getting slammed on pilots. Watch, this guy had a PPL and was a ramper.
