You can get $1M or $2M from most insurers and then purchase excess to bring you up to around $5M.

Who writes those policies?

Robert, Jason
Until you have been in his shoes, it is really not fair to judge him. Accidents happen, and this WAS an accident, occasionally people die. This guy had no intention of killing anyone, and I am sure that he didn't see the jogger. I promise that there are more accidents that kill innocent lives on the highways every day, should we prosecute all of those? I hope that neither of you are ever put into that situation, losing an engine in a single is not fun, I am speaking from experience. Like Kelly McBride said, your brain kind of shrinks to the size of a pea. The amount of disbelief of what is taking place sets in and then you realize you have a problem.

Agreed 100%.

But you have to realize that that stance does NOT help the GA community.

WOW. As a 3 week Bonanza owner after years of Cessna ownership, its not quite the genteel owner community I expected. I am a little surprised someone can post "selfish a@@hole" and "fuk him" and then be surprised at the response. Further to then claim that you didn't call anyone names or show disrespect....

You've misread my quotes and my posts obviously.

This is a genteel community. I love all the guys here. We're having a valid argument. If you can't handle it, go post some jokes in "Babbletalk".

I am sure he will get charged, after all, we live in a sue happy world where there is no such thing as an accident, thanks to a bunch of crooked lawyers, corrupt politicians and the media who kisses all of their behinds.

Is that what you would say to this guys wife and kids?

but you called the pilot a "selfish *sshole" and a "dick" sounds like name calling to me..... :tape:

I haven't called anyone names participating in this thread. I have not made a personal attack on anyone in this thread.

But the same respect has not been given to me. You're bashing me but not bashing anyone who has called me names or made personal attacks on me.

Why don't you call them out too while your at it? Could it be because you agree with them?

I know, that scares the P*** out of me! Problem is, where do you get a $5m or $10m aviation umbrella? The typical umbrella won't cover aviation.

There are several members here who carry $5 million on a Bo.

I have several friends at my home airport who carry $5 Million

It's OK for people to disagree. We're not all supposed to hold hands and sing "cumbayah".

I think there are very good arguments from either side. It's hard to remain objective when the accident itself affects us emotionally.

Jason, do you know the victim? Being from Atlanta and in your age group I thought I'd ask...

This thread had an opportunity to become an excellent discussion and debate over engine failure, pilot liability, ditching strategy, fate, responsibility, etc.

Instead it just sucks.

Whereas I might not agree with Jason on some of the language he used to characterize the pilot, I think he brought up an excellent topic about ditching, which was subsequently hijacked by a misinterpretation of what he was saying.

I can't believe I'm watching grown men call each other names on an internet forum. Its comical. IT"S AN INTERNET FORUM (That's my 4th or 5th time typing that).

Lighten up.

P.S. Babar, great post.
