It’s just sad. Here we go with professional sports getting these guys hooked up on all of these massively addictive medications.

No...it’s not Baseballs fault that he decided to take them and go aerial stunt man over Tampa Bay. But it sure reads like his cognition was hampered.

Just sad all around.

I am not sure the NTSB can do that.

Pretty much...You can bet your ass the airplane manufacturer doesn't want this to go down as equipment malfunction, and rightfully so.

This should get wide distribution. Here's an intelligent, successful individual who gets fucked up on drugs and does things he shouldn't and dies. People need to know that shit like that really does happen.

If this stops one person from getting behind the wheel or into a cockpit, releasing the news is worth it.

We should really wait for the full report. Drugs and all, there is no guarantee that he didn't just fuck up, lose situational awareness of even get hit by wind shear. John Denver died flying over water in a new plane he was unfamiliar with. A Kennedy died flying a light plane over water in weather he was not qualified to be in.

And, every year or so, a well-qualified, highly trained pilot loses it doing stunts at an air show. Sometimes, shit happens.

Very sad, mainly for his family. But apparently this news may not be a surprise for his family since the article indicates his Father's concern.

Also surprising because I know Halladay was a Mormon and practitioners of that faith are very anti-stimulant


*Yes, I know that someone's faith doesn't prevent them from addiction
