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!
Agree. Apparently they were doing a charter and the airplane just happened to be parked in front of the Lifeflight Hangar. They were going to ambulance him, but one of the the EMTs was UBER sharp and caught the symptoms (which are only very slightly different than a heart attack), and switched the plan to an air evac.
There's more to it, but definately a WOW story. Great guy, too.
