yeah it was a crazy story, apparently he was doing a walk around with the loadmaster when it happened. Someone knew what was going on and being at an airport allowed him to be flown via life flight to a nearby hospital. Everything went right for him which saved his life. At least that's the story i was told.
BW is a great guy and i was shocked to hear about this when it happened as he was relatively young but i'm glad he's doing well now!
