The Power to Asphyxiate (3 of 9)

Daniel 5:23
"Why do we complain about nature? She has acted kindly: life is long if you know how to use it. But one man is gripped by insatiable greed, another by a laborious dedication to useless tasks...Many are occupied by either pursuing other people's money or complaining about heir own... Some have no aims at all for their life's course, but death takes them unawares as they yawn languidly - so much so that I cannot doubt the truth of that oracular remark of the greatest of poets: 'It is a small part of life we really live.' ...You are living as if destined to live forever: your own frailty never occurs to you; you don't notice how much time has already passed, but squander it as though you had a full and overflowing supply." 5 - Lucius Annaeus Seneca

At about 6PM, the wings of Krug's plane clipped some treetops and the plane crashed into Justus Mountain. The fact that the pilot was not instantly killed or burned to death was a major miracle. The terrific impact caused the pilot to black out.

Krug had already beaten the odds by surviving a terrifying crash in the rugged, remote high country. Others had survived such crashes in isolated areas only to die of exposure or starvation. Upon awakening, the broken and bleeding pilot was shivering in the cold, wet cockpit. He managed to wrap himself in a fleece seat cover to keep warm. By mid-morning Saturday the fog was still so thick he could not see the treetops. As the hours pass ...
