Boy dies in Helicopter Crash at the Lake of the Ozarks...

What a sad story. This happened right across from our Condos. The scary thing is I saw the whole thing. Man what a moron this pilot was. I mean there were 50mph gusts of wind coming in when this guy went flying by our condo at a super low altitude and then decided to land this thing right when this front was coming in. He spun around a couple times from the wind and wiped out into the lake. He killed a 9 year old boy. The mother had to be hospitalized because of the trauma. This guy decided to take a bunch of the kids for a joy ride around dinner. It's just too bad they were kids. My prayers go out to that family.

I know what you mean. The day I bought my boat a little boy drowned at the dock. His mother and her boyfriend were in the cabin and the boy decided to fish off the dock. When he tried to climb off the boat to get to the dock, he slipped into the water. A while later, his mother was walking down the dock looking for her son. I walked with her and when we got back to their boat, I saw splash marks on the side of the dock. Her boyfriend went into the water, but couldn't find him. When the squad arrived about 30 minutes later, they found the boy wedged under the boat. They life-flighted him, but he didn't make it. It was not a good day in July 1992.... Ron

It really sucks to hear stories like that..I seen the one about the Helicopter this morning...Its really sad..I have two kids of my own and would be devistated if anything were to happen to either one of them..
My family is my world and to lose any of them would be unthinkable..
