He climbed out of the burning cockpit, stood on the wing of a plummeting aircraft, and jumped.The plane exploded sixty feet behind him.What followed was six months in intensive care, six months in a coma, third degree burns to 60% of his body, over 60 operations, and a 5% chance of survival. And then the longer, quieter battle rebuilding a life, a body and an identity from the wreckage.This is not just a story about surviving a plane crash. It is a story about what happens in the years that follow when the world moves on and the hardest fight is still ahead. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
