OT: R.I.P. Roy Halladay

[NJCardFan]

Dies in a plane crash off the coast of Florida in a plane he owned. He had gotten his pilots license after retiring from baseball. R.I.P. Roy. Thanks for the memories. http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/21331438/roy-halladay-40-dies-plane-crash-gulf-mexico

The news is coming out that Roy Halladay was showboating and caused the crash. That is very sad to hear.

A witness provided video of the crash.

The FAA is investigating the crash, while the National Transportation Safety Board will determine the probable cause of the accident. Details have emerged about the safety of the plane itself (Halladay had been the proud owner for less than a month of his ICON A5, and was among the first to fly it, with only about 20 in existence). But there is also evidence to suggest low flying — over water — was an element at the cause of the crash.

Very sad. I know we have some pretty passionate Philly's fans here on the board. My heart goes out to you and the family. Regardless of how it happened, its still very sad.

Pretty sure most of us who have ever gotten on a ATV or 4 wheeler or motorsport in general and done something where afterward we thought; dang that was close....
