At that age, a broken hip or pelvis can start the clock.

My father had a rapid dementia. Thankfully, he was somewhat self-aware and just couldn’t make sense of his cognitive decline. He maintained his mobility and sense of humor until his final weeks. He thought it was sadly humorous that he couldn’t remember anything.

I’m an atheist. I used to have well-developed, albeit lengthy, arguments against belief in one or more gods. My arguments has evolved into one sentence.

A loving and omnipotent god would not allow people to outlive their dogs or let aging folks suffer with dementia.

Sorry to hear above your dad. Dementia is ugly. My grandfather suffered from dementia. He died in his sleep, likely a stroke or heart attack, sparing him from the last stages of dementia. My other grandfather had renal cancer. He was doing well, then had a fall. He was gone a month later.

I'm also an atheist. Your point about the seemingly lack of a loving
god is well-taken, but it's also a false dichotomy. If there is a god, maybe he/she (if god has a gender) is omnipotent but not loving, or maybe they aren't at all involved with humans, or maybe god enjoys the suffering of others. Or there may be multiple gods.

Here come the lawsuits.

By one of the surviving pax, described as an executive assistant and artist-relations consultant. This lady egressed the Learjet along with the two dogs onboard and was deemed to have minor injuries, but racked up $105,000 in medical bills and did not have health insurance.

Suing the City of Scottsdale alleging that the aircraft the Learjet impacted when it departed the runway, a Gulfstream G200, was parked inside an Obstacle Free Area….a zone around a runway designed to have sufficient distance from aircraft suffering a runway excursion. Also being sued is Vince Neil’s company, claiming the deceased pilot negligent and the co-pilot negligent, for not deploying the Learjet’s drag chute on landing.

No mention in the suit of anything related to the landing gear damage incurred. or repairs made to it, of the old Lear 35A model.

The complaint:

Pretty easy to rack up $105K in medical bills, and if she had been insured, it would have been the insurance company going after that money.

That being said, this suit at least has factual basis that can be tested with regard to what is a safe distance for an OFA. If the complaint is unreasonable, it won't go anywhere.
