I would personally feel I was tempting fate, even tho I know that is probably not the most rational thinking.

Again, glad everyone walked away without serious injuries.

They have places to be and people to see. I would suggest maybe hiring a good mechanic.

Good job to the crew for keeping everyone safe and alive. Wonder what caused the brakes to fail.

If ever I was about to get on a plane and saw that a Hendrick or Jack Roush was also getting on, I'd turn and walk away.

All tastless kidding aside, I'm glad they all are okay. That had to be EXTRA rough to go through with what's happened in the past Gosh, I couldn't even imagine.

Or really any celebrity:

Jim Croce
Randy Rhoads
Otis Redding
members of Lynyrd Skynyrd
Patsy Cline
Payne Stewart
Steve Fossett
JFK Junior
John Denver
Thurmon Munson

Or helicopters:
Bill Graham
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Vic Morrow

It really is tragic when you look at a list of celebrities that died this way.

I would think they would be smart enough not to fly into bad weather...I guess money can't buy everything including brains..
