Once again, we’ll done Dan. Factual and just as importantly thoughtful. So often we just look at the accident and not the person. Your story shares the human side of things that is so often missing.
The Demons do not discriminate and we as adults need to stop the stigma of "junkie" as you did very well in this documentary reporting. Tragic and heartbreaking to anyone who has struggles but the human just wants freedom from pain. Good Job Dan. Bravo Zulu
The speedball (narcotics and amphetamines) effect would have made him feel like Superman. Having no pain, boundless energy, overcoming common sense. So tragic and sad.
Having the medical issues does not excuse the reckless use of the drugs and choosing to fly. As adults, and as pilots, we have to make that decision to stop one or the other. He failed.
Excellent and accurate analysis of accident. Great ball player unfortunately plagued with demons. Like folks who drunk drive, they may get away with it a few times, but at some point it catches up with them and they hurt themselves or someone else. ICON training now has an even strong focus on aero decision making and low altitude safety. It’s incredibly fun to fly, but you can never forget you are in an airplane.
Something wrong with this story in terms of supervision of Halladay's aviation medical? Would he be alive today if the privilege to drive a car or fly were removed?
In my view, he was on a suicide mission...to end; chronic pain, drug abuse and alcohol addiction.... Shamefully, he didn't have the will power to remain sober for his family; especially his boys and wife...
Dan, I think you were very kind but also have the facts straight. This is a hard subject to deal with on many levels. I have a family member that deals with severe back pain. It’s horrible.. Thank you for being honest and sensitive to the family as I think you did a great job with your story. I hope you are having a stellar day!! Fly safe and keep the great stories coming.. I love your channel..
Man I don't watch many videos on here but I half to say this is one of the best videos I've ever seen!! Great job!!

Sad and tragic. Thank you for sharing an in-depth view into what happened. Keep up the excellent work as always. Safe skies 🤘🇺🇸🛩️
Hello from Minnesota. Great review and recap of a very very sad story with a very very sad ending.
Tragic and avoidable. Always a hard one to swallow. My thoughts are with his family.
Very professional coverage of the story in my opinion. Maybe this can help someone else from not doing the same thing.
thank you for this video.

Very sad and tragic story. He was the best pitcher the Jays have ever had in their roster. RIP Doc.
You raised it; yes I think you gave him a pass. He knew he should not fly on drugs, that, and the hot dogging killed him. RIP.
the speech by Mrs Halladay at the HOF ceremony had everyone, including the other inducted players, in tears
I think you handled that well

Just a sad story from such a unique life.
"This is your plane on drugs!"
People like this ruin it for the majority.
Hey Dan, I'm very interested in getting into Flight Simulation. What setup would you recommend?

Roy lied to his doctor about it. Which is also a felony
Another great analysis. Is it equpped with a CAPS (cirrus aircraft parachute system) if not in a Cirrus aircraft, be more of a APS.
Yea it’s got a ballistic shoot but they only work if your high enough, this dude was hot doggin barely above the water!
Sad

He committed suicide? 🤔
He should have named his plane, "The SpeedBall".
First! 😂
😜
Christy, that’s not fair that you were first because I am thinking you had the inside track.. 😂😂😂😂
