This is crap,your headline is misleading and I am reporting it to your editor! You said CAUSE and you don't have one.
May he rest in peace....my condolences to the family. I enjoyed the infomercials so much. He will be missed.
Increased intracranial pressure following a head injury. A grown adult's skull is like a capsule for the brain that has no flexibility. Surrounding the brain is fluid that keeps it cushioned. If the brain pushes against the skull because it has been injured, this can cause herniation of the tissue or bleeding. Much like swelling tissue if you sprain your ankle. It's awful that people don't take head injuries seriously. Without your brain, nothing works.
Uh first, just wanted to interject that " fight 1241 in Tampa during a extremely a rough landing " makes me wonder if an editor was involved in the writing of this article. Journalism has left the building.
I believe people will be taking airplane accidents like this more seriously in the future. It's in character that the airline would be more concerned with the airplane than the passengers.
I am also somewhat aloof about the coincidences this weekend. I hope that's all it is.
My prayers go with him and his family and close friends. This is both shocking and sad.
I think this is sad and I wish nothing but the best for billy mays friends and family.
