I have an interesting quote: “Welcome to my world!”
Sip a cup of coffee and absorb the story that I posted in Feb. 3, 2009. I found it buried and lost in an archive on someone’s website. I guess when they rip off content it helps at times… 🙂
George Steele, 49, was a veteran of 8,000 parachute jumps and the pair were the last of about 10 skydivers to jump out of the plane. Daniel Pharr, a man diving with and being trained by Steele, enjoyed a minute of free fall as the cold air rushed by…
“He (Steele) pulled the chute,” Pharr said. “It got super quiet. It’s eerily quiet up there…
I made the comment to him: “It’s surprising how quiet it is.”
And he’s like: “Welcome to my world!”
A few seconds passed, and Pharr asked his instructor another question…
This time, Steele didn’t answer…
Pharr repeated his question…
No answer…
It seems that Steele had died of a heart attack while in free fall training someone to parachute. He died quietly , peacefully and seemingly in no pain. He was in his world…
Give credit to Daniel Pharr: He kept his head about him and kept it from being a double death…
I doubt we all will go to the pearly gates doing what we love more than anything else in the world…
