in his book he tells a crazy story about being on a small plane with maybe four people and the weather was so bad that as they had to make an emergency landing, the windshield froze over completely leaving the pilot blinded. there was a dime-size aperture in the ice that he ended up peering through in order to successfully land the plane. imagine going through that as a blind man. crazy.

shit happens more with musicians because they are more often on smal planes with gigs to get to. i guess not super common with athletes. halladay was a weird situation, his own little plane.

but i think it just feels weird to think about kobe in particular and to see the overflow of reaction. this is like princess diana or something, really wild.
