Omnia mors perimit et nulli miseretur

("Death destroys everything and takes pity on no one.")

Most of you will have seen the news of a commuter plane crash near Buffalo. Turns out I knew one of the victims; I'd worked with him when he was a FSA manager at UB and I was a student manager.


Personal stats: my current total of people I knew, that have died via:

  • Car Wrecks: 2
  • Plane Crashes: 3
  • Gunfire: 1
  • Cancer: 2
  • Drug Overdose: 1
  • Old Age: 2

1  Are the other 2 plane crashes civilian or military? I only ask because it's a higher percentage than I would expect.

2 Both military, as you surmised. One died when his helo was shot down, the other died when his helo crashed due to poor operating procedures by the flight crew.
