oneday Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 His plane strikes two buildings, with the first building containing the law firm where he works. Family says it was a suicide, but no reason to believe he was trying to harm anyone other than himself. So he was such a poor pilot he missed the huge open areas of the great Alaska wilderness and instead hits his law firm's building, when he was trying to kill himself and NOT harm anyone else? Yeah, right, he wasn't trying to harm anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
