It's a wonder he lived as long as he did. Amazing life though.

I watch "Air Disasters" as often as I can. There was an episode where one of the jets in his airline crashed. It was pretty impressive to see how dedicated he was to finding out why the plane went down and it was one of the very few times ever on the series an airline CEO actually was interviewed for the show.

Watched the same episode, was impressed by his hands on efforts.
