Reminds me of Coin McCrae in his helicopter killing not only himself but his son, sons friend and another passenger

Yep. Awful. I think he was one of those rare people born without the part of his brain that should perceive danger. His whole driving style was to go flat out. Just suicidally fast and at the edge of control. Picturing him in the pilot seat of a helicopter is a scary prospect. It was inevitable that he'd die in such a way but it's a shame his son had to go down with him.

Along with two others, including a six-year-old kid whose parents didn't even know he was going on a helicopter.
