Ok, lots of ways to die flying. If I got to choose, being brought down by a meteor would top the list. It is almost comically Greek God like.

One of my colleagues ran an internet search of the odds of an aircraft being struck by a meteor. He found a 1997 technical paper by William Cassidy that was initiated by the NTSB investigation of the crash of TWA Flight 800 (anybody remember that one?). Cassidy concluded that "The expected frequency of hull-penetrating strikes to an aircraft over the U.S. is once in 59,000 to 77,000 years." A person needs to know these things.

Yeah, but you got to be politically correct......
