Beach jogger killed by plane

[amtrakwolverine]

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — The kit-built single-engine plane was gliding quietly as it came down for an emergency landing on a beach. Pharmaceutical salesman Robert Gary Jones, listening to his iPod while jogging, likely never saw or heard it before the aircraft hit him from behind Monday evening and killed him.

The pilot couln't see him because the cockpit window was covered with engine oil.

What are the chances! They must be astronomical.

I agree. If it's your time, it's your time. But geeesh, this one would be tough to take.
