Cause of obsession you mean.

Every thread has to be a CV thread.

Cause of death: Covid-19.

Sadly, that was my first thought as well. My wife's brother had an inoperable cancerous brain tumor that was going to take him in the next couple of months. He was on hospice care. One of his visitors or hospice workers gave him “covid -19”. So he was counted as one of the early deaths here in Washington State where it has been spread around the community for months now. Fortunately in our part of the state most of the really vulnerable people have already been exposed and died, so the deaths are basically down to nothing now.

In most cases the cause of death will vary
depending on what sorts of Federal funding are
floating around out there.

He played two seasons for the Seahawks.

Physically, the guy always looked good - very solid body, good arm strength, classic throwing mechanics, above average runner.

Bottom Line - he could not win consistently.

He played 10 seasons, and was paid above $1 million a year for most of those seasons.

Tragically, just one year out of football, he got arrested for domestic violence, and had to have a court appointed attorney because he was broke.

Yes,a major wind gust can send a car off a road and into a tree.

Again from my time in Michigan a lady in a Yugo was once blown off of the Mackinac Bridge by gusty winds and down to a watery death in Lake Huron.

I apologize. I misread your comment as being sarcastic. I hope you accept my apology.

2012 Camaro.
I bet a snap oversteer right into a tree.
Corvettes are really prone to snap oversteer.

Sounds like he was confirming your position, as a severe gust of wind can most definitely blow a car off the roadway and hit whatever is off the roadway in the area it was blown into. You often hear of wind blowing over tractor trailers on the roadway.

Microbursts can knock a plane out of the air:

On August 2, 1985, the Lockheed L-1011 TriStar operating Flight 191 encountered a microburst while on approach to land at DFW. The aircraft struck the ground over a mile short of the runway, struck a car near the airport, and then collided with two water tanks and disintegrated. The crash killed 137 people and injured 28 others.

Why?

Why shouldn't you be a pinhead? Surely, you jest.

Very simply, hijacking a thread to parrot your unrelated agenda is audaciously bad form in a discussion forum.

Massive head injuries or his neck snapped in half.

Cause of death: Covid-19.

That was funny but some other Freeps need to get the "Lighten up Francis!" tag.

Yeah...drives me nuts. I once saw a Jeep think he could just drive through a “snow” bank that had been ploughed...turned out to be more of an “ice bank”. He didn’t fair so well.

Even when you have clear areas on the freeway, when you’re driving 80mph, the conditions can change in 50ft to being snow covered.

Big trucks seem to be the worst offenders.

We all make mistakes. You at least admit your mistake. Don’t get down on yourself, but let it be a lesson even I have learned, don’t irrationally jump to conclusions. If you are uncertain ask questions, and avoid personal attacks. 8>)
