I am still so amazed by Gentry. He was clearly concerned about this whole thing from the get go. And his concerns were obviously warranted. Their complete worship over their friend, the pilot, is insane. Sure, you didn’t all die. But after reading the pilot comments it definitely sounds like mistakes were made. I hope that in the future Gentry listens to his intuition because it obviously was right. As evidenced by what happened and how he felt.Kattiness Everdeen wrote:YT randomly recommended the footage of their plane crash to me tonight. It was absolutely horrifying. The majority of the video was them foreshadowing the crash harder than a kid writing their first movie script for a school project. If I didn't know it was real, I would have assumed it was an amateur movie. The impact even sounded like a watermelon being smashed with a sledgehammer, like they might use on a soundstage. That noise they implement in horror movies to replicate a sledgehammer to the head, intended to induce a physical recoil from the viewer. It worked.
Before take-off, Gentry provided his last words in case he died, which he was apparently expected to do based on his extensive injuries. He even questioned why they were putting him in the front seat (where he eventually took the brunt of the impact). I don't see how they can't be scarred for life after they recover from this. It might give me nightmares. I don't know how they managed to get this video out; they are stronger than I am.
There are a number of pilots in the comments that are alleging the pilot made some obvious judgement errors. I wonder how the NTSB investigation will pan out for them. I know that other Utah vlogger that survived a crash, did so under some odd conditions. The pilot died, but his estate was sued by a widow. I wonder if the Mikesells will be able to stick to their stance of not blaming their friends for the crash. Lifetime care can be extraordinarily expensive, if needed. Hopefully they don't.
