The idiot referenced above (the Micra owner - NOT Jim H) has relatives in
the Orlando, Florida area. And they are just as stupid. Recently some lady
had 25 - that's right TWENTY FIVE children in a Honda Accord wagon. It blew
a tire (duhhh), flipped, and I think two of the kids were killed. She was
charged - deservedly so.
Another relative put four people (adults) into a two seat Cessna 150, got
to 1,500 feet (slowly, I'm sure - 200 fpm?), stalled, and due to the
extreme aft cg, was unable to recover. Four more dead - when all else fails
RTFM!!!!!!
I think the Darwin awards are a good idea, but only if the nincompoop kills
himself, not innocent children.
