    Looks to be true. I never was a fan of the guy, but very sad. He had little kids too.

    Same here.

    The Sikorsky S-76 isn't the usual civilian helicopter. I wonder what happened?

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    I was reading this article last night and this happened today.

    Danger spins from the sky
    The Robinson R44, the world?s best-selling civilian helicopter, has a long history of deadly crashes

    You also claim to "not be a fan" of Ikea.

    From pics of the crash, it appears that the conditions were foggy and the helicopter crashed into a hillside.

    I am not proud of my initial reaction to this news. A complete lack of interest and an I don’t give a s**t moment, his death is simply not relevant or important to me. Fact is the man had family some of which might very well have been on that flight with him and it is a tragedy all around. Perhaps my mind swung to his well known Colorado legal issues but I had no reason to be so callous with my initial thoughts. Condolences to his family and those that called him friend but I have no underlying reason to morne his loss.

    I have the same same, meh, who cares. But I still dont care. He had no impact on my life, so his death is no different than other random people who die in car crashes.

    We dont have to care him, no matter how much the media wants us to.
