Some Kind of Luck
Flying in his Cessna 210 with his wife, Michael Simon ran out of fuel just three miles from his destination. He saw a wide road below, in Baker, La., but it had a fair amount of traffic. He did the best he could and landed on the road. “It’s a miracle with the traffic at lunch time he didn’t hit a car,” said police chief Sid Gautreaux. “I’m telling you, he is some kind of lucky,” said one witness. The next day, authorities allowed Simon to add fuel to his plane and use the road to take off. He clipped a truck parked on the road, careened into a fire rescue truck, and crashed into a field, wrecking the plane. (Baton Rouge Advocate) ...Remember, bad luck is some kind of luck.
