Yes, I had seen that report also. Rusty met and married a Southern California girl during his stint with the Ducks, had three children and still maintained a home here in Orange County. He was planning on playing another two seasons in the Kontinental Hockey League then retiring and living permanently in Orange County, where he was going to become a member of the Ducks Alumni, working for the Ducks in community relations projects, ect. This brings up a question I've had for a long time, given the number of Russian aircraft that crash each year: is it a matter of poorly designed and built aircraft, a matter of bad airport facilities, or a matter of bad piloting that's the cause of these accidents?
Not that I'm trying to bash the Russian aviation industry. Hell, back in 1987 two people I knew died in separate airline crashes, one on a Northwest flight that crashed after takeoff from Detroit Metro and another who was on a Pacific Southwest Airlines flight that crashed off the California coast when a crazy guy broke into the cockpit and shot the pilot and co-pilot. America isn't immune to horrific airline crashes. But it seems they happen in Russia more often. |
