Head injury ?

[BlessedBeGod]

I thought the stewardesses always check to make sure everyone’s got their seatbelts fastened when it’s time to land. Did he unfasten his?

[Gosh I love this neighborhood]

I’m wondering how a seat belt would have helped him if things were falling and something struck him on the head.

[TCats]

Um, and just how does not wearing a seat belt cause injury from things falling from the Overhead? i.e., Irrelevant attempt to complicate something that is probably pretty straightforward.

[LA Woman3]

fyi...

FAA spokeswoman tells BNO News that TMZ.com incorrectly quoted her, says she never said Bill Mays was not wearing seat belt during landing.

[South40]

I don’t buy it. I fly more often than most and I can’t remember the last time I saw someone NOT wearing their seatbelt during takeoff or landing.

[TRY ONE]

“All of a sudden ...all the things from the ceiling started dropping. It hit me on the head.”

But I use OXY CLEAN....and my HEAD ACHE was gone in a flash!

But wait....there’s more. You can get...........

If he was,in fact,hit on the head while landing and that injury does,in fact,prove to be the cause of his death it wouldn't matter to me if he wasn't wearing his seatbelt...as long as he was,in fact,seated when it happened.Stewardesses don't like...AT ALL...to see people not seated during landing so it seems unlikely that he was unseated.

If that's the best that US Air will be able to do in a lawsuit then they needn't bother.And for that matter it seems that the plane's manufacturer could also be sued for a faulty overhead compartment latch.

I always thought the stewardesss walked through the cabin making everyone to put on their seatbelts prior to landing. Did Billy refuse to obey? I cannot see that happening? Something does not make sense here? Is there a cover-up going on hear?

[ozzymandus]

Gee, I wonder if the news channels will run Billy Mays coverage 24/7 like Michael Jackson?

[rawhide]

And another how did the FAA know he was not wearing a seatbelt, at this early stage of the news cycle?

[Ikemeister]

If something hit him in the head, it is no doubt the fault of the idiot passengers who have to open and close the overhead compartments a thousand times during the course of a flight. They’re the same ones who like to roam the aisles endlessly and who have to switch seats with their family members continuously during the flight.

[BallyBill]

I just started watching "Pitchmen" this past week and I even saw the Twit last night on the tires blowing out.

Of all the deaths this week, I would never have had him in a death pool(if I was sick enough to be in a death pool)

[RichardW]

Good Grief!!

[meyer]

We called the FAA for comment, and a spokesperson told us, "The passenger needs to wear a seat belt during landing and he didn't."

Unless the cargo that he claims fell and hit him in the head was wearing a seatbelt, this would have made no difference.

I'd like to know how the FAA knows that he was not wearing his seat belt.

[ElectronVolt]

I see a few stories about Billy Mays, a guy who helped a lot of ordinary people live their dreams. Contrast that with a deluge of stories and round-the-clock coverage on Fox News about a deeply sick pedophile who hasn't done a thing of note in over twenty years.

Is there anything wrong with modern society?

[fso301]

Bumping your head against a kitchen cabinet can be fatal.

[Rick_Michael]

I guess he died from complications due to this...?

[rintense]

Natasha Richardson all over again.

[Tanniker Smith]

Silly question, but a head injury resulting from events that included a blown tire on a runway ... wouldn’t a trip to an emergency room just to make sure everything was okay have been in order at that point?
