Blunt-force injuries killed pilot in crash

Autopsy results showed that the pilot who was killed in a plane crash Sunday at Camarillo Airport died of multiple blunt-force injuries, Ventura County Senior Deputy Medical Examiner Craig Stevens said.

Marc Fiorini, 53, was flying an advertising banner plane and lost control as he attempted to pick up the banner, Federal Aviation Administration and local officials said.

Fiorini has ties to Florida and New Orleans, but his main address was in Mesa, Ariz., Stevens said.

The plane crash is being investigated by the FAA.

Ahhh lets see. The plan slams into the ground, nose first, and they say he died of blunt force injuries. Ahhh, gee ya think?

Well it could have been a stroke or a heart attack which caused him to go unresponsive and crash into the ground. Handy you don't have to worry about any of that because it seems you don't have a heart with some of the comments you make.

Actually, it was physics that killed this poor guy. I mean, without gravity, there would have been no crash, and no blunt force trauma.

Legal American: I couldn't agree more. And since we're going after small planes running into houses, we might as well abandon cars as well. Not a day goes by that we don't see video of some poor unfortunate home owner being a victim of some big SUV smashing into their house and destroying half of it. No one ever knows when a plane is going to fall out of the sky and hit your house. Well I can tell you this, you have a better chance of winning the mega lottery at 185,000,000 to one. That's one hundred and eighty five million to one. Now do you still think planes are that dangerous?

It took the coroner to figure out a plane crash victim died of blunt force trauma? That's good, I thought it was bad clams.
