In this midair, there were 8 eyes that failed to see what was in front of them. From the damage description, possibly the Cessna made a last second maneuver to avoid. Perhaps landing, strobes, and navigation lights on would have helped if they were not being Maeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08253088259904154414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6060827553081940333.post-362584725104443942019-08-08T15:29:52.548-04:002019-08-08T15:29:52.548-04:00"The study revealed that the Piper and the Ce..."The study revealed that the Piper and the Cessna would have remained relatively small, slow-moving objects in each other's windows until about 12 seconds before the collision, and subsequently grown in size suddenly.

No, it wasn't the traces of pot in the blood. Alcohol and prescription medications cause far more accidents every day. We should leave the puritan conjecture for another blog.

The states that are legalizing pot use are only concerned about the revenue that it will generate and don't give a rat's ass about all the problems it's going to create.
