And yes, I would say he has established a record for himself compared to many other pilots who have nothing of this magnitude on their records.
I personally find it difficult to compare a human life to a "box of cargo", so I will just ignore that remark!
Finally, what would be wrong with everyone hearing about how to avoid this mistake and incorporating it into training curriculum. Isn't that the idea??? To teach people how to avoid his mistakes??
I'm not sure where y'all learned about statistics or probability but one incident is not a "trend" or a "pattern" of behavior. Just keep that in mind. I've said it once and I'll say it again: as soon as you believe you are immune from ever making a mistake (and the way some of you are crucifying a fellow pilot, it sure seems that we have a lot of infallible pilots amongst us) then that is when YOU are the most dangerous person in aviation. Period.
