I was front row in the Selfridge Airshow in Michigan, and he was doing a stunt, his 3rd time doing it...
The wind did pick up a lot for his 3rd time.

He was crossing from a wing of a plane to a helicopters landing bars.
And he didn't have secure grip and he fell 200 feet to his death.

If you see video's you will see how scary it is.

PLEASE pray for Todd Green and his Wife and 2 kids!

When he fell and hit the ground, you heard a 'boom and a thud'.

That's terrible. The only thing I can say sounds like a joke, but not meaning it to be: If he hadn't died, the videos of it would be constantly replayed on those amateur videos of people almost dying shows for years to come.

It's so annoying on Yahoo and that. Here is a comment on yahoo that made me pissed.

'Was he white?'

But the news bro by me, they all replayed the vid at least500 times.

Why do you care if some stunt man dies? Is he related to you or something?

indyjones · August 22, 2011, 11:19:46 AM

Again..
He knew the risks.

You have to care, even though it's some random person that has nothing to affect you or anything, he died in front of lots of people and the death was important enough for everyone to care and feel sorry for them

or something

If you died then wouldn't you want us to feel bad for you?

Or if a family member died and you were like D:, so you asked us for sympathy and we were just like, LOL ya k bye.

D: I hate seeing people die on accident because it makes me wonder what they were thinking as they fell.

Not more stupid than trying to climb from plane to helicopter on an extremely windy day for no real reason whatsoever.
